“Ah! what is love? It is a pretty thing,
As sweet unto a shepherd as a king;
And sweeter too,
For kings have cares that wait upon a crown,
And cares can make the sweetest love to frown;
Ah then, ah then,
If country loves such sweet desires do gain,
What lady would not love a shepherd swain?”

Robert Greene (dramatist) (1558–1592) English author

"The Shepherd's Wife's Song", line 1, from Mourning Garment (1590); Dyce p. 305.
