A FRENCH SONG.
I
Why thus from the Plain does my Shepherdess rove,Forsaking Her swain, and neglecting His love?
You have heard all my grief, you see how I die,
O! give some relief to the swain whom you fly.
II
How can you complain, or what am I to say,Since my dog lies unfed, and my sheep run astray;
Need I tell what I mean, that I languish alone,
When I leave all the Plain, you may guess 'tis for One.
