TESTO DEL LIED

"Shepherd, leave decoying"
di John Dryden (1631-1700)

Shepherd, shepherd leave decoying -
Pipes are sweet as summer's day;
But a little after toying
Women have the shot to pay.
Here are marriage vows for signing,
Set their mark that cannot write;
After that without repining,
Play and welcome day and night.
