And many a ruddy cheek confest,
The triumphs of the beating breast,
And many a rustic rover sigh’d
Who ask’d the kiss, and was denied.
First Marg’ry smil’d and gave her Lover
A Kiss; then thank’d her stars, ’twas over!
Next, Kate, with a reluctant pace,
Was tempted to the mystic place;
Then Sue, a merry laughing jade
A dimpled yielding blush betray’d;
