Fly swifter, ye minutes, bring hither my dear, And for it rest longer when she shall be here. Ah ! Colin, old Time is too full of delay, Nor will budge one foot faster for all thou canst say. Will no pitying power, that hears me complain, Or cure my disquiet, or soften my pain ? To be cured thou must, Colin, thy passion remove ; Yet what swain is so silly to live without love ? No, deity, bid the dear nymph to return ; For ne'er was poor shepherd so sadly forlorn. Ah ! what shall I do ? I shall... die with despair ! Take heed all ye swains how ye part with your fair ! ♦ - BALLADS OF LANCASHIRE. 279 SONGS. By William Rowlinson of Manchester.
