The shepherd Strephon loved fair Dorida,
The shepherd Strephon loved fair Dorida,
The finest shepherd is in all our field,
The finest shepherd is in all our field,
Line 29: Line 27:
Ne by entreaties forced once to yield,
Ne by entreaties forced once to yield,
All on his knees unto the seemly saint,
All on his knees unto the seemly saint,
In woeful wise thus gan he make his plaint.
In woeful wise thus gan he make his plaint.}}

The shepherd Strephon loved fair Dorida,
The finest shepherd is in all our field,
Whose loyal love, when she would not obey,
Ne by entreaties forced once to yield,
All on his knees unto the seemly saint,
In woeful wise thus gan he make his plaint.
