SONG.
1
Honour's chief Gem, brave Lord Farewell;Still Shine, excell:
Tho chang'd these Flocks rude Bleating sound,
With Native Ground,
For Climes remote where Wonders dwell,
Chorus of all.
Gentlest Gales on Waters Floor
Conduct thy Barque,
Conduct thy Barque to Foreign Shore.
2
Next Pan himself Thou here didst Reign,Like Star o'th' Plain;
And through thy Beams the Pastor fries
Could'st Civillize:
Much Rais'd advanc'd their Rural Brain:
Chorus of all.
Choicest Honour (last) did'st shew.
With vulgar Rank,
With vulgar rank conjoyn'd below.
3
Prime Male Compound, whose Virtue, PartsDid take our Hearts.
And Forms united excellence
Much pleas'd our Sense.
Small Grange would Cloud thy grand Deserts.
Chorus of all.
Pastors shall howere Record,
They could long time young Duke afford
Advance, Proclaim
Thy Praise to Fame,
And Glory in the Lord Orsamne's Name.
