One of Travers's popular two-part canzonets arranged by a fellow Gentleman of the Chapel Royal of a later generation for use in the glee club repertoire.
Lyrics: Matthew Prior
Haste my Nanette my lovely maid,
Haste to the bower thy swain has made;
For thee alone I made the bow'r
And strew'd the couch with many a flow'r.
None but my sheep shall near us come,
Venus be prais'd my sheep are dumb.
Great god of love take thou my crook,
To keep the wolf from Nanette's flock;
Guard thou the sheep to her so dear;
My own, alas, are less my care;
But of the wolf if thou art afraid
Come not to us to call for aid;
For with her swain my love shall stay
Tho' the wolf stroll, and tho' the sheep stray.
Haste my Nanette my lovely maid,
Haste to the bower thy swain has made;
For thee alone I made the bow'r
And strew'd the couch with many a flow'r.
None but my sheep shall near us come,
Venus be prais'd my sheep are dumb.
Great god of love take thou my crook,
To keep the wolf from Nanette's flock;
Guard thou the sheep to her so dear;
My own, alas, are less my care;
But of the wolf if thou art afraid
Come not to us to call for aid;
For with her swain my love shall stay
Tho' the wolf stroll, and tho' the sheep stray.
