Rhyme Scheme: ABACDBDC AEAFGBGC AHAHACAC IAIAJKJC LELFMBMC

Sweet Mary though nor sighs nor painsA
Impassion'd courtship proveB
My simple song the truth ne'er feignsA
To win thee to my loveC
I ask thee from thy bustling lifeD
Where nought can pleasing proveB
From city noise and care and strifeD
O come and be my loveC
-
If harmless mirth delight thine eyesA
Then make my cot thy homeE
The country life abounds with joysA
And whispers thee to comeF
Here fiddles urge thy nimble feetG
Adown the dance to moveB
Here pleasures in continuance meetG
O come and be my loveC
-
If music's charm that all delightsA
Has witcheries for theeH
The country then my love invitesA
In echoed melodyH
Here thrushes chant their madrigalsA
Here breathes the ringed doveC
Soft as day's closing murmur fallsA
O come and be my loveC
-
If nature's prospects wood and valeI
Thy visits can enticeA
The country's scenes thy coming hailI
To meet a paradiseA
Here pride can raise no barring wallJ
To hide the flower and groveK
Here fields are gardens free for allJ
O come and be my loveC
-
If music mirth and all combineL
To make my cot thy homeE
To tempt thee Mary to be mineL
Then why delay to comeF
Here night birds sing my love to sleepM
Here sweet thy dreams shall proveB
Here in my arms shall Mary creepM
O come and be my loveC
