Introduction to the Second Part

HOw is it reader? have I tired you?

While through these pleasant fields you walk'st with me,

Our path was pleasant, but if length of way

Do weary you, we'l slack our pace, and stay;

Let's sit a while under the cooling Shade

Of fragrant trees; were for shadow made.

Lo here a pleasant grove, whose shade is good;

But more than so, 'twill yield us fruit for food.

No dangerous fruits do on these branches grow,

No snakes among the verdant grass below.

Here we'l repose a while, and then go view

The pleasant herds and flocks: and so adieu.
