It begins:
Jenney and Molly, and Dolly,
When young Lambs were a Roaring;
Robin and Willey, and Harry,
Met all at a Sheep-Shearing:
Lately a Match was made,
Plump Jone of the Valley,
Simper'd till Grace was said,
With Roger the Jolly:
Hodg the brisk and strong,
Could well give her a Fairing;
Joan the fresh and Young,
The best at the Sheep-Shearing.
