"COME, SHEPHERDS, COME" by ANONYMOUS

Last Line: IF YOU CRAVE IT
Subject(s): DESIRE;

COME, Shepherds, come
Come away without delay,
Whilst the gentle time doth stay.
Green woods are dumb,
And will never tell to any
Those dear kisses, and those many
Sweet embraces that are given,
Dainty pleasures that would even
Raise in coldest age a fire,
And give virgin blood desire:

Then if ever,
Now or never
Come and have it:
Think not I
Dare deny,
If you crave it.
