Lyrics: John Fletcher

Come shepherds, come away without delay,
While the gentle time doth stay.
Green woods are dumb
And will never tell to any
Those sweet kisses and those many
Fond embraces which were given,
Dainty pleasures that could even
In coldest age raise a fire,
And give virgins soft desires.
