THE MAID AND THE MAGPIE
Founded on Facts
CHARLES MORETON
London. Published by G. Stevens, 10 Borough Road, Southwark.
AND THE
MAGPIE.
At Palaiseau, there liv'd a maid, In form and features mild; The stings of conscience never prey'd, On this devoted child.
She serv'd a wealthy farmer there, An honest soul was he; Her comforts were his only care, And all he wish'd to see.
His wife was of another mould, And prematurely smart; Hasty, and rash, with that a scold, Yet still a feeling heart.
One summers eve', her labor done, She sat in pensive plight; Watching the clear declining sun, With rapt'rous delight.
'Twas then, that Blaisot trembling came And sitting by her side; Ventur'd to declare his flame, And ask her for his bride.
He told his tale of tender love, Then on her hand he sigh'd! Annette she blush'd, her love to prove And with his suit complied.
