Come, Lady, while Heav'n lends us grace, Let us fly this curled place, Left the forcerer us entice With force other new device. Not a walk, or needlefs found, Till we come to holier ground ; I fhall be your faithful guide Through this gloomy covert wide, And not many furlongs thence Is your Father's refidence, Where this night are met in fate Many a friend to gratulate His wifh'd prefence, and befide All the swains that near abide, With jigs, and rural dance refort ; We shall catch them at their fport, And our fudden coming there Will double all their mirth and chear ; Come let us hafte, the fiars grow high, But night fits monarch yet in the mid fky. The SCENE changes, prefenting Ludlow town, and the Prefident's cattle; then come in country dancers, after them the attendent Spirit, with the two Bro- thers and the Lady.
