Since, Moggy, I mun bid adieu, <br />How can I help despairing? <br />Let cruel Fate us still pursue, <br />There's nought more worth my caring. <br /> <br />'Twas she alone could calm my soul <br />When racking thoughts did grieve me; <br />Her eyes my trouble could control, <br />And into joys deceive me. <br /> <br />Farewell ye brooks! no more along <br />Your banks mun I be walking; <br />No more you'll hear my pipe or song, <br />Or pretty Moggy's talking. <br /> <br />But I by death an end will give <br />To grief since we mun sever; <br />For who can after parting live, <br />Ought to be wretched ever.<br /><br />Matthew Prior<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/songs-set-to-music-25/
