SONG.

At the Root of the green Willow,
Grassy Banks their Couch and Pillow,
John and Jenny lay:
In her Bosom,
He'll repose him,
Tir'd with Sport and Play.
Her plump Arms are round her Jewel;
Can so fair a Nymph be cruel,
To a Lad so gay?
Her Breasts are white like Lilly Leaves,
Her Lips like Roses red;
Her Breath a sweeter Perfume gives,
Than e'er Dianas did, &c.
