1747

HayTime; or the Constant Lovers. A Pastoral.

[in Relph's Miscellany of Poems above.]

pp. 12-18. h.c.

Mock-eclogue.

A dialogue in the Cumberland dialect between Cursty and Peggy, in which the burlesque element is almost dispelled by kindly sentiment.

But let us rise — the sun's owr Carrack fell,
And luik — whae's yon 'ats walking to the well?
Up, Cursty, up; for God's sake let me gang,
For fear the maister put us in a sang. [Conclusion.]
