| Young Jemmy, / OR, / The Princely Shepherd. / Being a most pleasant and Delightful New Song. / In blest Arcadia, where each Shepherd feeds / His numerous Flocks, and tunes on slender Reeds; / His song of Love, while the fair nymphs trip round, / The chief amongst 'um was young Jemmy found: / For he with glances could enslave each heart, / But fond Ambition made him to depart / The Fields to Court, led on by such as sought / To blast his Vertues which much sorrow brought | |
