Shepherds, all, and maidens
fair, Fold your flocks up, for the air 'Gins to thicken, and the sun
Already his great course hath run...
See the heavy clouds low falling,...
Hovering o'er the
wanton face Of these pastures, where they come,..
Therefore, from such danger lock
Every one his lovèd flock; And let your dogs lie loose without,
Lest the wolf come as a scout...
John Fletcher, 1579-1625
