Now while I for my tender Myrtles made
A Fence from Cold, unhappily had stray'd
My Goat the Husband of the Flock, and I
Seeking th' unlucky Truant Daphnis spy,
When me again he had rejoycing spy'd,
Hither, oh Melibæus! haste, he cry'd,
Safe be thy Goats! and if Affairs permit,
In this cool Shade a while, I prithee sit,
Hither will come thy Bullocks thro' the Meads
To drink, and here behold, with waving Reeds
The River Mencius ouzy Banks are crown'd,
And from the sacred Oak the murm'ring Bees resound.
