C&E: Ploughman's Ditty (v1, p99)

A song from Welcker's 1760 song collection "Clio & Euterpe, or British Harmony.

"When Molly smiles beneath her cows,
I feel my Heart I can't tell how
I feel my Heart I can't tell how.
When Molly is on Sunday drest
On Sunday I can take no rest
On Sunday I can take no rest.

What can I do on Working Days
I leave my work on her to gaze
What shall I say at Sermon I
Forget the Lord when Molly's by

Good Master Curate, teach me how
To mind your preaching & my plough
And if for this you'll raise a spell,
A good fat goose shall thank you well."
