¶Lyrics / Text

Shepherds all, and maidens fair, Fold your flocks up, for the air ’Gins to thicken, and the sun Already his great course hath run. See the dew-drops how they kiss Every little flower that is, Hanging on their velvet heads, Like a rope of crystal beads. And let your dogs lie loose without, Lest the wolf come as a scout From the mount[ain], and ere day, Bear a lamb or kid away; Or the crafty thievish fox Break upon your simple flocks.
