SONG
[When lingering suns in sumer sets]
When lingering suns in sumer sets
North westly oer the lee
When winds too in that quarter gets
How Dear they are to me
For there my lovely B[etse]y dwells
Whose charms in charms appear
Fair flowers clear brooks all wears & tells
The 'semblance of my Dear
North westly oer the lee
When winds too in that quarter gets
How Dear they are to me
98
Whose charms in charms appear
Fair flowers clear brooks all wears & tells
The 'semblance of my Dear
There's not a wind thats blowing west
Or westernly inclind
There's not a Sun sinks there to rest
But leaves her in my Mind
Nor yet a Beauty wearing flower
Nor brookie wimpering clear
But holds the same enchanting power
To mind me o' my Dear
Or westernly inclind
There's not a Sun sinks there to rest
But leaves her in my Mind
Nor yet a Beauty wearing flower
Nor brookie wimpering clear
But holds the same enchanting power
To mind me o' my Dear
