ODES.
SONG.
I.
ROM While's and Will's
To purling rills
The love sick Strephon flies;
There, full of woe,
His numbers flow,
And all in rhyme he dies.

II.
The fair coquett,
With feign'd regret,
Invites him back to town;
But, when in tears
The youth appears,
She meets him with a frown.

III.
Full oft' the maid
This prank had play'd,
'Till angry Strephon swore,
And, what is strange,
Tho' loth to change,
Would never see her more.
