Description

Transcription:
Tis not that we would here [ex]press
A coarse and vulgar Shepherdess
Of England or of [Scotia],
My Song is of the olden Time
And fam’d Arcadia’s pastoral Rhyme
Or [V]allies of Boatia
Kings Duaghters then with Flocks [w’]rove
And Gentlewomen spun and wove
Nor fail’d in Grace nor Beauty
[E]’en such your Shepherdess Appears
Who rur’al Life with Grace endears,
And each domestic Duty!__
