Ive lost, &c. Were our fond vows but empty air, And made but to be broken ?That ringlet of thy raven hair, Wast but a faithless token ?Alas ! Ive lost, &c. In vain Ive tried each artfu wile, Thats practised by the lover,But nought, alas, when once its lost,Affection can recover. Then break, my poor deluded heart, That never can be cheerie;But while lifes current there shall flowtSae lang Ill loe my dearie ! 0 true love is a bonote elower. Air, Twine weel the plaiden. Speaking of the verses to this air inJohnsons Museum, beginning, 0! I have lost my silken snood, Mr. Stenhouse says, I remember an oldlady who sang these verses to a very plaintive and simple air, in slow treble time, a copy of which, but cor-rupted with embellishments, appears in Oswalds Collection, No. 12, under the title of The lassie lost her silkensnood.
