Part 2 — No 96 FAIR SUSAN

1 Fair Susan slumbered in shady bower, Safe hid, she thought, from every eye; Nor dreamed she in that tranquil hour Her own true love was passing by. 2 He gazed in rapture upon her beauty, Sleep did her charms but more reveal; He deemed it sure a lover's duty From those sweet lips a kiss to steal. 3 In shame and anger poor Susan started, With eyes aflame she bade him go; "Return no more!—for ever parted; Cruel and base to use me so!" 4 "By too much love I have offended, Forgive me if I cause you pain; But if indeed our love be ended, Pray give me back my kiss again."
