'COME live with me and be my Love, /
And we will all the pleasures prove /
That hills and valleys, dale and field, /
And all the craggy mountains yield. /
There will we sit upon the rocks /
And see the shepherds feed their flocks, /
By shallow rivers, to whose falls /
Melodious birds sing madrigals. /
There will I make thee beds of roses /
And a thousand fragrant posies, /
A cap of flowers, and a kirtle /
Embroider'd all with leaves of myrtle.' /
What is pastoral?
