The Loving Shepard.

1
AMarillis told her Swain,
Amarillis told her Swain
That in love he should be plain
And not think to deceive her.
Still he protested on his truth
That he would never leave her.

2
If thou do'st keep thy vow quoth she,
And that thou ne'r Do'st leave me,
There's ne'r a Swain in all this plain
That ever shall come neare thee
For Garlands and enbroyder'd Scrips,
For I do love thee dearly.

3
But Colin if thou change thy love
But Colin if thou change thy love
A Tygresse then I'le to thee prove
If e're thou dost come near me.
Amarilis fear not that,
For I do love thee dearly.
