SUSSEX SHEPHERDS.
171
'Tis all before the plough the fat oxen go slow,
But the lads and the lassies to the sheep-shearing go.······
When the sheep-shearing's over and harvest draws nigh,
We'll prepare for the fields our strength for to try;
We'll reap and we'll mow,
We'll plough and we'll sow.
Oh, the pink and the lily,
And the dafifydowndilly!" etc.
