SANG XVI. Kirk wad let me be.

[_]

Sung by Patie, p. 63. [P. 258, l. 42.]

Duty and part of reason,
Plead strong on the parents side,
Which love superior calls treason;
The strongest must be obey'd:
For now tho' I'm one of the gentry,
My constancy falshood repells;
For change in my heart is no entry,
Still there my dear Peggy excells.
