THE PRAISE OF A DAIRY
(sung to the air of Packington’s Pound)

In praise of a dairy I purpose to sing,
But all things in order, first, God save the King!
And the Queen, I may say,
That every May-day, Has many fair dairy-maids all fine and gay.
Assist me, fair damsels, to finish my theme,
Inspiring my fancy with strawberry cream.
