The eye that's sparkling black I love,

Ay, more than that which blue is;

And thine are like two stars above,

And sloe black—Nancy Lewis.

Alas! alas! their power I feel;

My bosom pierced right through is:

In pity, then, my bosom heal,

My charming Nancy Lewis.

Oh! bless me with thy heaven of charms,

And take a heart that true is,
