Country youth; young lover (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

swain

I believe this is a double definition.

'country youth' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'young lover' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for swain that I've seen before include "Old word for young lover" , "lover of literature" , "Rustic lover" , "Young man" , "Country boy" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
