Grocott & Ward, comps. Grocott’s Familiar Quotations, 6th ed. 189-?.

Shepherds

Ye shepherds, give ear to my lay,
And take no more heed of my sheep;
They have nothing to do but to stray;
I have nothing to do but to weep.
Alas! from the day that we met,
What hope of an end to my woes?
When I cannot endure to forget
The glance that undid my repose.
Shenstone.—Pastoral Ballad, Part IV.
