| 333. Song—Lovely Polly Stewart |
| |
| |
| Chorus.—O lovely Polly Stewart, | |
| O charming Polly Stewart, | |
| There’s ne’er a flower that blooms in May, | |
| That’s half so fair as thou art! | |
| |
| THE FLOWER it blaws, it fades, it fa’s, | 5 |
| And art can ne’er renew it; | |
| But worth and truth, eternal youth | |
| Will gie to Polly Stewart, | |
| O lovely Polly Stewart, &c. | |
| |
| May he whase arms shall fauld thy charms | 10 |
| Possess a leal and true heart! | |
| To him be given to ken the heaven | |
| He grasps in Polly Stewart! | |
| O lovely Polly Stewart, &c. | |
