Analysis of Nymphs And Shepherds
Thomas Shadwell 1642 (Weeting or Lynford, Norfolk) – 1692 (London)
Nymphs and shepherds, come away.
In this grove let's sport and play,
For this is Flora's holiday,
Sacred to ease and happy love,
To dancing, to music and to poetry;
Your flocks may now securely rest
Whilst you express your jollity.
Nymphs and shepherds, come away.
