The Happy shepherd: OR; The Young Gallants Courtship to his Coy Lady:  
To a pleasant New Tune, Sung in the last New OPERA.  
licenced according 〈◇〉 Order.  

HOw blessed are Shepherds, how happy their Lasses,  
while Drums and Trumpets are sounding alarms;  
Over our lowly Sheds all the storm passes,  
and when we die, 'tis in each others Arms:  
All the Day on our Herds and Flocks employing,  
All the Night on our Flutes, and in enjoying.   

( 2)  
Bright Nymphs of britain, with graces attended,  
let not your Days without pleasure expire;  
Honour's but empty, when your youth is ended,  
all Men will praise you, but none will desire:  
Let not Youth fly away without contenting,  
Age will come time enough for your repenting.   

( 3)  
In shady Bowers and tender Embraces,  
fairest Aurelia her Swain does enjoy;  
Although with Beauty the Valleys she graces,  
yet she disdains to be froward and coy:  
Thus they the height of all Joys are possessing,  
Neither denying each other the blessing.   

( 4)  
This is no more than a true Lovers duty,  
to quench those passionate flames when they burn,  
Both Kings and Princes are conquered by Beauty,  
no private armor Love's Arrows can turn:  
Since Charms has such irresistible power,  
Ladies, O do not your true Loves devour.   

( 5)  
Tho' Youth and Beauty like Blossoms are blooming,  
and Goddess-like you appear on the Stage;  
Like fading-Flowers those Charms are consuming,  
which hastens on the could Winter of Age:  
In time admire Loves innocent pleasure,  
Lest at the length you repent it at leisure.   

( 6)  
Are not young Ladies for Men to admire,  
and that they freely are to be enjoyed?  
Then be not cruel, but grant my desire,  
let not thy languishing Love be destroyed:  
Like a true Lover I dearly adore thee,  
And for one smile could here fall down before thee.   

( 7)  
oath State and Triumph sweet Saint, shall attend thee,  
like a Court-Lady of famed and Renown;  
And while rich Presents, as Tokens, I sand thee,  
thy head young Cupid with Garlands shall Crown:  
No kind of sorrow or grief shall annoy thee,  
Both Crowns and sceptres I'd leave to enjoy thee.
