 s. sh. fol. 



[ An Irish street ballad, sufficiently grotesque to justify the fol- 

 lowing extract : 



" In the cool shade of evening, 



The forenoon of the day, (!) 

 Down by a brook my way I took, 



To the Boyne I chanced to stray, 

 Where there I saw a maid undressed, 



My frame she did confound, 

 My line and hook went with the brook, 

 And never yet was found. 



I boldly stepped up to her saying, 



Matchless Queen of Troy, 

 Was it Cupid sent you here, 



Young angels to decoy ? 

 Or are you the bright morning star 



That rises in the East ? 

 Or Juno bright, that rules the night 



When lovers are at rest ? 



In a tremor she made answer, 



Sir, don't me tantalise, 

 I'm none of those you mention, 



Your praises I despise. 

 I'm but a shepherd's daughter 



Come bathing to the Boyne, 

 Your company withdraw from me 



Your line and hook go join."] 



Shepherd (Richard Herne). Waltoniana. Inedited remains
