But now, no Sheperdess or Swain is seen,
To gamble round Thy Trunk, or Dance upon the Green;
No more the Dairy Maid with Milking-Pail
Sits at Thy Roots, to hear her Strephon's Tale;
No more the Shepherd in the scroching Noon,
Drives to Thy cooling Shade, there to ly down;
No more on Trumps, plays sweetly to his Clara,
Nor with his native Notes, sings Leader Haughs and Yarow.
