craving comfort from the swollen udders of their bleating dams。 As I thus 

sat�察�these and other sights had so fully possess my soul with content�察�that I 

thought�察�as the poet has happily express it�察�

     I was for that time lifted above earth�此�And possest joys not promis'd in 

my birth。 

     As I left this place�察�and entered into the next field�察�a second pleasure 

entertained me�察�'twas a handsome milk´maid�察�that had not yet attained so

much age and wisdom as to load her mind with any fears of many things 

that will never be�察�as   too many  men too often do�察�but she cast away  all 

care�察�and sung like a nightingale。 Her voice was good�察�and the ditty fitted 

for   it�察�it   was   that   smooth   song   which   was   made   by  Kit   Marlow�察 �now   at 

least   fifty   years   ago�察  �and   the   milk´maid's   mother   sung   an   answer   to   it�察�

which was made by Sir Walter Raleigh�察�in his younger days。 They  were 

old´fashioned   poetry�察  �but   choicely   good�察  �I   think      much    better   than  the 

strong lines that are now in fashion in this critical age。 Look yonder� �on 

my word�察�yonder�察�they both be a´milking again。 I will give her the Chub�察�

and persuade them to sing those two songs to us。 

     God speed you�察�good woman� �I have been a´fishing�察�and am going to 

Bleak Hall to my bed�察�and having caught more fish than will sup myself 

and my friend�察�I will bestow this upon you and your daughter�察�for I use to 

sell none。 

     Milk´woman。 Marry� �God requite you�察�Sir�察�and we'll eat it cheerfully。 

And if you come this way a´fishing two months hence�察�a grace of God� �I'll 

give you a syllabub of new verjuice�察�in a new´made hay´cock�察�for it。 And 

my Maudlin shall sing you one of her best ballads�察�for she and I both love 

all anglers�察�they be such honest�察�civil�察�quiet men。 In the meantime will you 

drink a draught of red cow's milk �拭�you shall have it freely。 

     Piscator。 No�察�I thank you�察�but�察�I pray�察�do us a courtesy that shall stand 

you   and   your   daughter   in   nothing�察  �and   yet   we   will   think   ourselves   still 

something in your debt�此�it is but to sing us a song that was sung by your 

daughter when   I   last   passed over   this   meadow�察 �about   eight or   nine   days 

since。 

     Milk´woman。 What song was it�察�I pray�拭               �Was it�察 ─�Come�察�Shepherds�察�

deck your herds ; �拭�or�察 ─�As at noon Dulcina rested ; �拭�or�察 ─�Phillida flouts 

me ; �拭�or�察 ─�Chevy Chace ; �拭�or�察 ─�Johnny Armstrong ; �拭�or�察 ─�Troy Town 

; �拭�

     Piscator。 No�察�it is none of those�察�it is a Song that your daughter sung 

the first part�察�and you sung the answer to it。 

     Milk´woman。 O�察�I know it now。 I learned the first part in my golden 

age�察�when I   was about the   age of my  poor daughter�察�and   the latter part�察�

which indeed fits me best now�察�but two or three years ago�察�when the cares

of the world began   to take hold   of me�此�but you   shall�察�God willing�察 �hear 

them both�察�and sung as well as we can�察�for we both love anglers。 Come�察�

Maudlin�察�sing the first part to the gentlemen�察�with a merry heart�察�and I'll 

sing the second when you have done。 

     The Milk´maid's song。 

     Come   live   with   me�察  �and   be   my   love�察�And   we   will   all   the   pleasures 

prove�察   �That   valleys�察  �groves�察   �or  hills�察 �or  fields�察 �Or   woods�察   �and   steepy 

mountains yields�察�

     Where   we   will   sit   upon   the   rocks�察  �And   see   the   shepherds   feed   our 

flocks�察�By shallow rivers�察�to whose falls Melodious birds sing madrigals。 

     And   I   will   make   thee   beds   of   roses�察�And�察  �then�察  �a   thousand   fragrant 

posies�察  �A   cap   of   flowers�察  �and   a   kirtle�察  �Embroidered   all   with   leaves   of 

myrtle�察�

     A gown made of the finest wool Which from our pretty lambs we pull 

Slippers�察�lin'd choicely for the cold�察�With buckles of the purest gold�察�

     A belt of straw and ivy´buds�察�With coral clasps�察�and amber studs。 And 

if these pleasures may thee move�察�Come�察�live with me�察�and be my love�察�

     Thy silver dishes�察�for thy meat As precious as the Gods do eat Shall�察�

on an ivory table�察�be Prepared each day for thee and me。 

     The shepherd swains shall dance and sing For thy delight�察�each May 

morning。 If these delights thy mind may move�察�Then live with me�察�and be 

my love。 

     Venator。   Trust   me�察  �master�察  �it   is   a   choice   song�察  �and   sweetly   sung   by 

honest Maudlin。 I now see it was not without cause that our good queen 

Elizabeth   did   so   often   wish   herself   a   milk´maid   all   the   month   of   May�察�

because they are not troubled with fears and cares�察�but sing sweetly all the 

day�察�and sleep securely all the night�此�and without doubt�察�honest�察�innocent�察�

pretty   Maudlin   does   so。   I'll   bestow   Sir   Thomas   Overbury's   milk´maid's 

wish upon her�察 �that she may die in the Spring�察�and�察�being dead�察�may have 

good store of flowers stuck round about her winding´ sheet ; 。 

     The Milk´maid's mother's answer 

     If   all   the   world   and   love   were   young And   truth   in   every   shepherd's 

tongue�察�These pretty pleasures might me move To live with thee�察�and be 

thy love。

     But Time drives flocks from field to fold。 When rivers rage�察�and rocks 

grow cold Then Philomel becometh dumb And age complains of cares to 

come。 

     The flowers do fade�察�and wanton fields To wayward winter reckoning 

yields。 A honey tongue�察�a heart of gall�察�Is fancy's spring but sorrow's fall。 

     Thy gowns�察�thy shoes�察�thy beds of roses�察�Thy cap�察�thy kirtle�察�and thy 

posies�察  �Soon   break�察  �soon   wither�察  �soon   forgotten�察  �In   folly   rise。   in   reason 

rotten。 

     Thy belt of straw�察�and ivy buds�察�Thy coral clasps�察�and amber studs�察�All 

these in me no means can move To come to thee�察�and be thy love。 

     What   should   we   talk   of   dainties�察  �then�察  �Of   better   meat   than's   fit   for 

men �拭�These are but vain�此�that's only good Which God hath blessed and 

sent for food。 

     But could youth last�察�and love still breed�察�Had joys no date�察�nor age no 

need�察�Then those delights my mind might move To live with thee�察�and be 

thy love。 

     Mother。 Well� �I have done my song。 But stay�察�honest anglers�察�for I will 

make Maudlin sing you one short song more。 Maudlin � �sing that song that 

you sung last night�察�when young Coridon the shepherd played so purely on 

his oaten pipe to you and your cousin Betty。 

     Maudlin。 I will�察�mother。 

     I married a wife of late�察�The more's my unhappy fate�此�I married her for 

love�察�As my fancy did me move�察�And not for a worldly estate�此�

     But   oh�   �the   green   sickness   Soon   changed   her   likeness�察  �And   all   her 

beauty did fail。 But 'tis not so With those that go Thro'frost and s As As all 

men know�察�And carry the milking´pail。 

     Piscator。 Well   sung�察 �good   woman�察  �I   thank   you。   I'll   give   you   another 

dish of fish one of these days�察�and then beg another song of you。 Come�察�

scholar  �   �let   Maudlin   alone�此�do   not   you   offer  to spoil   her voice。   Look   � �

yonder comes mine hostess�察�to call us to supper。 How now� �is my brother 

Peter come�拭�

     Hostess。 Yes�察�and a friend with him。 They are both glad to hear that 

you are in these parts�察�and long to see you�察�and long to be at supper�察�for 

they be very hungry。

       Piscator。   Well   met�察  �brother   Peter�   �I   heard   you   and   a   friend   would 

lodge  here   to´night�察  �and   that   hath   made   me   to   bring   my  friend   to   lodge 

here too。 My friend is   one that would fain be   a brother of the angle�此  �he 

hath been   an   angler   but this   day�察  �and   I   have taught him  how  to   catch   a 

Chub�察�by dapping with a grasshopper�察�and the Chub he caught was a lusty 

one    of   nineteen    inches    long。   But    pray�察 �brother    Peter�察  �who    is  your 

companion �拭�

     Peter。   Brother   Piscator�察  �my   friend   is   an   honest   countryman�察  �and   his 

name is Coridon�察�and he is a downright witty companion�察�that met me here 

purposely to be pleasant and eat a Trout�察�and I have not yet wetted my line 

since we met together�此�but I hope to fit him with a Trout for his breakfast�察�

for I'll be early up。 

     Piscator。 Nay�察�brother�察�you shall not stay so long�察�for�察�look you� �here is 

a Trout will fill six reasonable bellies。 

     Come�察�hostess�察�dress it presently�察�and get us what other meat the house 

will   afford�察  �and   give   us   some   of   your   best   barley´wine�察  �the   good   liquor 

that our honest forefathers did use to think of�察�the drink which preserved 

their health�察�and made them live so long�察�and to do so many good deeds。 

     Peter。 On my word�察�this Trout is perfect in season。 Come�察�I thank you�察�

and   here   is   a   hearty  draught to   you�察 �and to   all the   brothers of   the   angle 

wheresoever they be�察�and to my young brother's good fortune to´ morrow。 

I will furnish him with a rod�察�if you will furnish him with the rest of the
