Wat ye wha I met Yestreen.
–
Sung by Sir William, p. 54.

NOW from rusticity, and love,
Whose flames but over lowly burn,
My gentle shepherd must be drove,
His soul must take another turn:
As the rough diamond from the mine,
In breakings only shews its light.
‘Till polishing has made it shine,
Thus learning makes the genius bright.
