Young Jemmy, | Or, | The Princely Shepherd, j Being a most
pleasant and Delightful New Song. |
In blest Arcadia, where each Shepherd feeds
His numerous Flocks, and tunes on slender Reeds ;
His song of Love, while the fair nymphs trip round,
The chief among.st 'um was young Jemmy found :
For he with glances could enslave each heart ;
But fond Ambition made him to depart
The Fields to Court, led on by such as sought
To blast his Vertues which much sorrow brought.
