Thyrsis, sleepest thou? Let no sorrow slay us:
Hold up thy head man, said the gentle Meliboeus,
Hold up thy head man, said the gentle Meliboeus,
Line 34: Line 33:
O said the shepherd, and sighed as one all undone,
O said the shepherd, and sighed as one all undone,
Let me alone alas, and drive him back to London.
Let me alone alas, and drive him back to London.

Thyrsis, sleepest thou? Let no sorrow slay us:
Hold up thy head man, said the gentle Meliboeus,
See summer comes again, the country’s pride adorning.
Hark, how the cuckoo singeth this fair April morning.
O said the shepherd, and sighed as one all undone,
Let me alone alas, and drive him back to London.
