Original text and translations
English text
- Amyntas with his Phyllis fair,
- in height of summer's sun,
- graz'd arm in arm their snowy flock;
- and scorching heat to shun,
- under a spreading elm sat down,
- where Love's delightments done,
- 'Down, dillie down,' thus did they sing,
- 'There is no life like ours,
- no heav'n on earth to shepherd's cells,
- no hell to princely bow'rs.
