NOw I am in a merry vein, I'le sing about the Shepherd Swain; Who night and day the Fields do keep, To wait upon the flocks of Sheep. In Royal Tombs some of them lye, And are of great Antiquity: Their Ancientry quite out doth run, To Father Adams second Son,
Who though he was by's Brother slain, Yet first he was a Shepherd Swain; Who did a Lamb to'th Alter bring, And made it his burnt-Offering. The Lamb was innocent from harms, And thence became the Shepherds Arms: The ignorant do little know, The Royal Escutcheons they can show.
<seg n="1" rend="left"><hi rend="italic">The Second part, the same Tune.</hi></seg>
THe next man that i' th field appears, Was Abraham with his Ram i' th briers, But if he lead them in the Hain, A Whistle brings them back again. And Jacob gain'd the Cherubim, When th' Angel was o'recome by him: Where like a Prince he did prevail, And chang'd his name to Israel. The Knitter and the Taylor too, Without the Fleece can little do: Were it not for the Shepherd Swain, The Wheel and Loom were made in vain. And Moses brought the Bush on fire, And joyn'd to Abrahams Ram i'th Brier: And Judah Father of the Kings, The mighty Couching Lyon brings. A Bear and Lyon both were slain, When David was a Shepherd swain: Three Shepherds came from East so far, Their onely guide the Shepherds star. These were the tydings they did bring, To Israel is born a King: And David us'd the staff and sling, Before that he was Judah's King. But when he had Goliah slain, He left those Army to'th shepherd swain: Which in those days were of Renown, When Moses spurn'd at Pharoahs Crown. And left the Court and took the Fields, Which braver sport and pleasure yields: Which are bestrew'd with pleasant flowers, And are bedew'd with Chrystial showers. Which makes their Beauty to excell, And send forth a most fragrant smell: Where Nightingales i'th Bushes sing, For to salute the early spring.
Where towering Larks do soar on high, In consort, making Melody: Where Chanting Birds i'th woods do sing Which makes the hallow Vallies ring. Where flocks of sheep slaight on the dounds, And shepherds guide and keep their bounds: And lead them into Valleys green, Where chrystial streams, the hills between. Do trickle down and freely spring, Which makes the shepherd swains to sing: A Horned sheep a Bell doth Ring, And guides the rest much like a King. And from the hot and scorching Sun, The Groves do shade the flock at Noon: The Shepherd with his Pipe and Reed, Makes Melody, while they do feed. A Box of Tar a Dog doth bear, Which is for Sheep an Oyntment rare: The use whereof all Shepherds know, Therefore in vain the Fly doth blow. Though Frost and snow do pinch with cold, The Shepherd will not leave his Fold: And carefully his flock doth feed, But doth supply what else they need. And while the Ews do eat their Hay, The Lambs do frisk about and play: The Shepherd's pleas'd for to behold, The Lambs a dancing round the Fold. None with the Shepherd may compare, For useful and substantial Ware: 'Tis with the Fleece that Women Spin, And so the Weaving trade comes in. Now Shepherds I leave you all, To him that doth and ever shall; Who can alone in safety keep, The pleasant Shepherds and their Sheep.
