Young Jemmy: or, The princely shepheard. Being a most pleasant and delightful new song. In blest Arcadia where each shepherd feeds, his numerous flocks, and tunes on slender reeds; his song of love, while the fair nimphs trip round, the chief amongst 'um was young Jemmy found: for he with glances could enslave each heart, but fond ambition made him to depart the fields to court, led on by such as sought to blast his vertues, which much sorrow brought. To a pleasant new play-house tune. Or, in January last, or, The gowlin.
