The Sheepheard

"By whose tough labors and rough hands
We rip up first, then reap our lands."

From Robbert Herrick's "The Hock-Cart" (ll. 3-4)

"Come live with mee, and be my love,
And we will all the pleasures prove,
That Vallies, groves, hills and fields,
Woods, or steepie mountain yeeldes.
"

From Christopher Marlowe's "The passionate Sheepheard to his love" (ll. 1-4)

"She breweth noppy ale,
And maketh therof port sale
To travellars, to tynkers,
To sweters, to swynkers
And all good ale drynkers,
"

From John Skelton's "The Tunnyng of Elynor Rummyng" (ll.102-106)
