[_ZAPOLYA_, ACT IV. SCENE 2]
Up, up! ye dames, and lasses gay! / To the meadows trip away. / 'Tis you must tend the flocks this morn, / And scare the small birds from the corn. / Not a soul at home may stay: / For the shepherds must go / With lance and bow / To hunt the wolf in the woods to-day.
Leave the hearth and leave the house / To the cricket and the mouse: / Find grannam out a sunny seat, / With babe and lambkin at her feet. / Not a soul at home may stay: / For the shepherds must go / With lance and bow / To hunt the wolf in the woods to-day.
