  1. The Dear Irish Maid (continued)

    (continued from previous page)
    With my spirits recruited I approached with confusion
    And gently saluted that sorrowflect fair
    She said Sir Pass by me & dont tantalise me
    For by love I am destined to repine in these shades.
    So with clear condension & sweet smiling features
    She said Sir be seated 'neath those lovely green bowers
    As I am no Goddess but a plain country maiden
    Who sallies forth early to gather some flowers.
    She's charming she's musing she's chased & she'd soothing
    A model of beauty & blessed by the day
    And so I met this fair Phoenix the pride of Old Erin
    We will her no name but the Dear Irish Maid
