Matthew Prior - Songs Set To Music: 27.
Work rating: Low

Haste, my Nannette,
My lovely maid,
Haste to the bower
Thy swain has made.
     For thee alone
I made the bower,
And strew`d the couch
With many a flower.
     None but my sheep
Shall near us come;
Venus be praised 
My sheep are dumb.
     Great god of love
Take thou my crook,
To keep the wolf 
From Nannette`s flock.
     Guard thou the sheep
To her so dear;
My own, alas!
Are less my care. 
     But of the wolf 
If thou`rt afraid,
Come not to us
To call for aid; 
     For with her swain
My love shall stay,
Though the wolf stroll
And the sheep stray.
