<L>NOw Sols bright &s;hining beams</L>
<L>dryes up the Watery Flood,</L>
<L>Hay Harve&s;t will draw near,</L>
<L>it is well under&s;tood.</L>

<L>And when the Parching heat</L>
<L>doth force us to give o're,</L>
<L>We to the Shades retreat,</L>
<L>and there we'l o're and o're</L>
<L>Repeat the favours we have &s;hown</L>

<L>ANd at the Evening tide,</L>
<L>our days-work we do cock,</L>
<L>If we are not e&s;pied,</L>
<L>then I take up her &s;mock:</L>
<L>And what doth after follow then</L>
<L>I am a&s;ham'd to &s;ay,</L>

<L>She cries &s;he's then beguil'd,</L>
<L>per&s;wades me to be true:</L>
<L>Unknown to any of our Friends</L>
<L>we married are &s;traitway,</L>
<L>And none doth know that it was &s;o</L>
<LG TYPE="refrain">
<L><HI>when we were making Hay.</HI></L>

<LG>
<L>And thus we carry on</L>
<L>our Country je&s;ts and &s;port,</L>
<L>No dread we think upon,</L>
<L>we value not report;</L>
<L>Report hath long a Lyar been,</L>
<L>I have heard many &s;ay,</L>
<L>And now I long till we begin</L>

<L><HI>again to make the Hay,</HI></L>

<L>Our Life more plea&s;ure yields,</L>
<L>and brings to us &s;uch &s;port,</L>
<L>More plea&s;ure in the Fields</L>
<L>than in a Princes Court;</L>
<L>For all the day long from morn to night,</L>
<L>we merrily do play,</L>
<L>And thus our hearts we do delight,</L>

<L><HI>as we are making Hay.</HI></L>

<L>Before the Sun doth ri&s;e,</L>
<L>we Mu&s;ick have at will,</L>
<L>The pretty Lark up flies</L>
<L>our plea&s;ures to fulfill;</L>
<L>We with our Bag and Bottle too</L>
<L>do Fea&s;t us every day,</L>
<L>We hear no &s;trife; this plea&s;ant Life</L>

<L><HI>we have in making Hay.</HI></L>
</LG>

<LG>
<L>Who then doth not delight</L>
<L>to lead a Country life,</L>
<L>Our pains it doth requite,</L>
<L>each man injoys his wife.</L>
<L>Yea, hand in hand to labouring work</L>
<L>they go both night and day,</L>
<L>And &s;ometimes they together play,</L>

<L>No Citizen I &s;ay</L>
<L>can be from care more free,</L>
<L>Although they go more gay,</L>
<L>and finer dre&s;t then we.</L>
<L>Such plea&s;ures they but &s;eldom meet,</L>
<L>as we have every day,</L>
<L>That walk the Meadows brave and &s;weet,</L>
