AH! Cloris awake, it is all abroad Day, If you sleep any longer our Flocks they will stray: Lye still my dear shepherd, and do not rise yet, For it is a cold Windy morning, and besides it is wet. My Cloris make haste, for it is no such thing; Our time we do wast, for the Lark is on Wing, Besides I do fancy I hear the Young Lambs, Cry ba, ba, ba, ba, for the loss of their Damms. My Shepherd I come, though Im all over so But I swear ile, not love you, if you rise so to morrow: For me thinks its unkind, thus early to rise: And not to bid me good morrow: brings tears from my Eyes. O hark my dear Cloris, before thou shalt weep: Ile stay to imbrace thee, neglecting my sleep: My flocks they may wander, one hour, two or three: But if I loose thy favour, I ruind shall be. I joy my dear shepherd, to hear thee say so: It eases my heart of much sorrow and woe: And for thy Reward I will give the a kiss: And then thou shall taste of a true Lovers bliss. But Cloris behold how bright Phebus his Beams: Invits us to go to the murmuring streams: I hear the brave Huntsman doth follow the cry: And make the Woods ring, yet how sluggish am I.
The Hounds and the Huntsman may follow the Chase: Whilst we enjoy pleasure in a far better place: Thou knowst my dear Shepherd there is no delight, Like Lovers enjoyment from Morning till Night. Alas my dear Cloris, what dost thou require: The care of my Flocks doth abate my desire: The Lambs are new Yeaned, and tender for Prey, And I fear the slie Wolf she should bear them away. My Love do not fear it, the Wolf he is fled, To take up his Lodging, in his Mossy Bed: Then let me embrace thee, whilst we do agree: And I promise to go, thou shalt after be free. Ah Cloris! the words are so powrful with me, That I could be willing to tarry with thee: Therefore to content thee, one hour I will stay, But I vow by God Cupid, I will then go away. Now I have my wishes, dear Shepherd wel part, Although thou dost carry away my poor heart: I bless the great Gods, that to Lovers are kind: To bring us together, such bliss for to find. Then farewel dear Cloris till I see thee again, For now I will haste to my Flock on the Plain: Where I shall record thy true Love in such Rhimes, For shepherds to admire in suceeeding times.
FINIS.
