PEGGY.

My wishes are complete, --- my joys arise,
While I'm haff dizzy with the bleft furprize.
And am I then a match for my ain lad,
That for me fo much generous kindness had?
Lang may Sir William bless these happy plains,
Happy, while Heaven grant he on them remains,
PATIE.

Be lang our Guardian, ftill our Master be,
We'll only crave what you shall please to gi’e ;
Th' Eftate be yours, my Peggy's ane to me.
GLAUD.

I hope your honour now will take amends
Of them that fought her life for wicked ends.
Sir WILL.

The base unnatural villain foon fhall know,
That eyes above watch the affairs below.
I'll ftrip him foon of all to her pertains,
And make him reimburse his ill-got gains.

PEGGY.

To me the views of wealth, and an eftate,
Seem light, when put in ballance with my Pate:
For his fake only, I'll ay thankfull bow
For fuch a kindness, beft of men, to you.

SYMON.

What double blythness wakens up this day!
I hope now, Sir, you'll no foon hafte away?
Sall I unfadle your horfe, and gar prepare
A dinner for ye of hale country fare,
See how much joy unwrinkles every brow
Our looks hing on the twa, and doat on you:
Even Bauldy the bewitch'd has quite forgot
Fell Madge's taz, and pawky Maufe's plot.
Sir WILL.

this day!

Kindly old man,
- remain with you
I never from these fields again will ftray;
Mafons and Wrights fhall foon my house repair,
And bufy Gardners fhall new planting rear:

}

My

My father's hearty table you foon fhall fee
Reftor'd, and my best friends rejoyce with me,
SYMON.

That's the best news I heard this twenty year;
New day breaks up, rough times begin to clear.
GLAUD.

GOD fave the King, and fave Sir William lang, T' enjoy their ain, and raise the Shepherd's fang.

ROGER.

Wha winna dance, wha will refuse to fing? What Shepherd's whistle winna lilt the spring? BAULD Y.

I'm friends with Mause,---with very Madge I'm gree'd,
Altho' they skelpit me when woodly fleed,
I'm now fu' blyth, and frankly can forgive,
To join and fing, Lang may Sir William live.
MADGE.

Lang may he live ;---and, Bauldy, learn to steek
Your gab a wee, and think before ye speak,
And never ca' her auld that wants a man,
Elfe ye may yet fome witch's fingers ban.
This day I'll with the youngest of ye rant,
And brag for ay that I was ca'd the aunt
Of our young Lady,---my dear bonny bairn!

PEGGY.

No other name I'll ever for you learn---
And, my good nurse, how fhall I gratefu' bę
For a' thy matchless kindness done for me!
MAUSE.

The flowing pleasures of this happy day,
SYMON.

Does fully all I can require repay,

Sir WILL.

To faithful Symon, and kind Glaud to you,
And to your heirs I give in endless feu,
The mailens ye poffefs, as justly due
For acting like kind fathers to the Pair,
Who have enough befides, and these can fpare.
Mause, in my houfe, in calmnefs close your days,
With nought to do but fing your Maker's praise.

OMNES.

The LORD of Heaven return your honour's love Confirm your joys, and a' your bleffings roove.

PATIE presenting Roger to Sir William.
Sir, here's my trusty friend, that always fhar'd
My bofom fecrets ere I was a laird.

Glaud's daughter Janet, (Jenny thinkna shame)
Raif'd and maintains in him a lover's flame :
Lang was he dumb, at last he spake and won,
And hopes to be our honest uncle's fon;
Be pleaf'd to speak to Glaud for his consent,
That nane may wear a face of discontent.

Sir WIL L.

My fon's demand is fair, Glaud, let me crave,
That trufty Roger may your daughter have
With frank confent, and while he does remain
Upon these fields, I make him Chamberlain:
GLAUD.

You crowd your bounties, Sir, what can we fay,
But that we're dyvours that can ne'er repay?
Whate'er your honour wills I fhall obey.
Roger, my daughter, with my bleffing, take,
And still our Master's right your business make.
Please him, be faithful, and this auld gray head
Shall nod with queitness down amang the dead.
ROGER.

I ne'er was good a speaking a' my days,
Or ever loo'd to make o'er great a fraise:
But for my Mafter, father and my wife,
I will employ the cares of all my life.
Sir WIL L.

My friends, I'm fatisfied you'll all behave
Each in his ftation as I'd wish or crave.
Be ever vertuous, foon or late ye'll find
Reward and fatisfaction to your mind.

The maze of life fometimes looks dark and wild;
And oft when hopes are higheft, we're beguil'd.
Aft when we ftand on brinks of dark despair,
Some happy turn, with Joy, difpells our care.
Now all's at rights, who fings beit, let me hear.

Laft night I met him on a bawk,
Where yellow corn was growing,
There mony a kindly word he spake,
That fet my heart a glowing.
He kiff'd, and vow'd he wad be mine,
And loo'd me beft of ony,
That gars me like to fing fincefyne
O corn riggs are bonny,

Let Laffes of a filly mind

Refufe what maift they're wanting,
Since we for yielding were defign'd,
We chaftly should be granting.
Then I'll comply and marrie PATE,
And fyne my cockernony
He's free to touzle air or late,
Where cornriggs are bonny.
