As lovely show'd, as Lilly on the Lea!
But sure that Paplet was the tend'rest Lass!
Well ween I Cubbin lay at little Ease.
So soft she seem'd! By Heav'n seem'd more than soft!
Her Lip to touch he wish'd him, O how oft!
Now soothly Paplet was the tend'rest Mey!
Ah God! I small ween'd could so tender be!
Some-deal her Paps been pufft, that sooth might seem
The Little Life now just of Love gan dream.
