Song 14. Nansy to the Greenwood gane.
Now all's restored to rights again
and falshood is discarded
Let sounding Joys ring oer the plain
and virtue be rewarded
when cross events in life appear
that wrap in clouds their meaning
they give us pain but when they clear
they then are entertaining
and falshood is discarded
Let sounding Joys ring oer the plain
and virtue be rewarded
when cross events in life appear
that wrap in clouds their meaning
they give us pain but when they clear
they then are entertaining
since I'm no more a Duke can be
farewell to all thats stately
Come Flammie then let thee & me
strive to live kind & quietly
if we enjoy content & love
and tho our rents be scanty
our real joys may rise above
the petts of pride & plenty
farewell to all thats stately
Come Flammie then let thee & me
strive to live kind & quietly
if we enjoy content & love
and tho our rents be scanty
our real joys may rise above
the petts of pride & plenty
