The Passionate Shepherd To His Love - Alex Jennings

[00:06.426]Come live with me and be my love,
[00:09.426]And we will all the pleasures prove
[00:11.676]That valleys, groves, hills, and fields,
[00:14.426]Woods, or steepy mountain yields.
[00:17.927]And we will sit upon the rocks,
[00:19.926]Seeing the shepherds feed their flocks,
[00:22.426]By shallow rivers to whose falls
[00:24.927]Melodious birds sing madrigals.
[00:28.927]And I will make thee beds of roses
[00:31.926]And a thousand fragrant posies,
[00:34.426]A cap of flowers, and a kirtle
[00:36.676]Embroidered all with leaves of myrtle;
[00:40.176]A gown made of the finest wool
[00:42.427]Which from our pretty lambs we pull;
[00:44.676]Fair lined slippers for the cold,
[00:47.677]With buckles of the purest gold;
[00:50.926]A belt of straw and ivy buds,
[00:52.926]With coral clasps and amber studs:
[00:56.426]And if these pleasures may thee move,
[00:59.426]Come live with me, and be my love.
[01:03.427]The shepherds’swains shall dance and sing
[01:06.177]For thy delight each May morning:
[01:08.676]If these delights thy mind may move,
[01:11.677]Then live with me and be my love.
