And he that knows what 'tis to rest Amidst his flocks the livelong night, Sure he can never find delight In courts, by courtly ways oppressed. Oh what a pleasure tis to hear the cricket's cheerful piercing cry!  And who can tell the melody his pipe affords the Shepherds ear?
Thou know'st what luxury 'tis to drink As shepherds do when worn with heat From the still fount, its waters sweet, with lips that gently touch their brink, or else, where hurrying on they rush and frolic down their pebbly bed  O what delight to stoop the head and drink from out their merry gush.
Queens Loaf  1 qt of flour - four eggs - 1/2 tea cup of butter 3 heaped teaspoonsful of yeast powder  beat the eggs separately very light sift the powder into the flour & then make it all into a stiff batter with milk, butter a tin pan and bake immediately
