Strephon and Cloris, or, The coy shepherd and kind shepherdess he's fearful that his flocks should go astray and from her kind embraces would away, but she with loving charms doth him so fetter that for to stay he finds it much the better: when flock & herds, & all concerns do fail, love must be satisfi'd, and will prevail. To a pleasant new play-house tune, or, Love will find out the way this may be printed, R.P. Behold diead Cupid, with his golden dart, and bended bow, doth pierce each shepherds heart vvitness here Strephon yields, to loves essays, his head being crown'd with never fading bays.
