To a cowslip early

1. 
   
   
   Cowslip bud so early peeping
2. Warmd by aprils hazard hours
3. Oer thy head tho sunshines creeping
4. Hind it threatnd temp[e]sts lower
5. Trembling blossom let me bear thee
6. To a better safer home
7. Tho a fairer blossom wear thee
8. Near a tempest there shall come
   
   
9. Marys bonny breasts to charm thee
10. Bosom soft as down can be
11. Eyes like any suns to warm thee
12. & scores of sweets unknown to me
13. Ah for joys thoult there be meeting
14. In a station so divine
15. I'd 'most wish thats vain repeating
16. Cowslip bud thy life were mine
