Shepherds, rise, and shake off sleep - br See the blushing morn doth peep br Through your windows, while the sun br To the mountain-tops has run, br Gilding all the vales below br With his rising flames, which grow br Brighter with his climbing still - br Up! ye lazy swains! and fill br Bag and bottle for the field; br Clasp your cloaks fast, lest they yield br To the bitter north-east wind; br Call the maidens up, and find br Who lies longest, that she may br Be chidden for untimed delay. br Feed your faithful dogs, and pray br Heaven to keep you from decay; br So unfold, and then away.
