Edition notes: Reformating, with corrections, of #12265, (which appears to be a reformated copy of 10197). Set for SATB, but the voice range makes it suitable for AATB as well.

Lo country sports, that seldom fades,
A garland of the Spring,
A prize for dancing country maids,
With merry pipes we bring.
Then all at once for our town cries,
Pipe on for we will have the prize.
