Come jolly Swaynes, come let us sit around,
Come jolly Swaynes, come let us sit around,<br>
And with blithe Carrols sullen cares confound.
And with blithe Carrols sullen cares confound.<br>
The Shepheards life
The Shepheards life,<br>
Is void of strife,
Is void of strife,<br>
No worldly treasures
No worldly treasures,<br>
Distastes our pleasures
Distastes our pleasures,<br>
With free consenting,
With free consenting,<br>
Our mindes contenting,
Our mindes contenting,<br>
We smiling laugh
We smiling laugh<br>
While other sigh repenting.
While other sigh repenting.
