Not a waste, or needless sound  
Till we com to holier ground,  
I shall be your faithfull guide  
Through this gloomy covert wide,  
And not many furlongs thence  
Is your Fathers residence,  
Where this night are met in state  
Many a friend to gratulate  
His wish't presence, and beside  
All the Swains that there abide,  
With Jiggs, and rural dance resort,  
We shall catch them at their sport,  
And our sudden coming there  
Will double all their mirth and chere;  
Com let us haste, the Stars grow high,  
But night sits monarch yet in the mid sky.  
950  
The Scene changes, presenting Ludlow Town and the President  
Castle, then com in Countrey-Dancers, after them the attendant  
Spirit, with the two Brothers and the Lady.  
SONG.  
Spir: Back Shepherds, back, anough your play,  
Till next Sun-shine holiday,  
Here be without duck or nod
