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 waste, 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 I'm all over sorrow But I swear i'le not love you if you rise so tomorrow: For methinks it's unkind, thus early to rise, and not bid me good morrow, brings tears from my eyes. O hark, my dear Cloris, before thou shalt weep, I'le stay to embrace thee, neglecting my sleep: My Flocks they may wander, one hour, two, or three, But if I loose thy favour, I ruin'd 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 thee a Kiss, And then thou shalt taste of a true Lovers bliss. But Cloris behold how bright Phoebus his Beams, Invites us to go to the murmuring streams: I hear the brave Huntsman doth follow the cry, And makes 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 know'st 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 slye woolf she should bear them away. My Love do not fear it, the woolf 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! thy words are so powerful 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 we'l 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 Flocks on the Plain: Where I shall record thy true Love in such Rhimes For Shepherds to admire in succeeding times.
