""The Gentle Shepherd: A Scotch Pastoral"" is a play written by Scottish poet Allan Ramsay. Set in the rural countryside of Scotland, the play tells the story of two young lovers, Peggy and Patie, who must overcome the obstacles of class and tradition to be together. Along the way, they encounter a cast of colorful characters, including a cunning matchmaker, a bumbling suitor, and a wise old shepherd who helps guide them on their journey. Through witty dialogue, charming songs, and a touch of romance, Ramsay captures the beauty and simplicity of Scottish rural life in the 18th century. This classic work of Scottish literature continues to be celebrated for its humor, warmth, and timeless themes of love and community.I'm born, O Patie, to an adverse fate! I'm born to strive with hardships sad and great. Tempests may cease to dash the rolling flood, The rav'n and fox to long for lambkin's blood: But I, opprest with never-ending grief, Must still despair of lighting on relief.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

In Enlightenment Edinburgh, Allan Ramsay (c. 1684-1758) was a foundationally important poet, dramatist, song collector, theatre owner, cultural leader in art and music, and innovative entrepreneur in many spheres from language to libraries. This series, the result of an international research project, presents Ramsay's complete works in a dependable scholarly edition for the first time, thereby illuminating a body of work crucial in its own right and essential to both the Scottish Enlightenment and the Vernacular Revival associated with Fergusson, Burns and others. Ramsay's pastoral comedy The Gentle Shepherd (1725; 1729) went through over a hundred editions, was performed many hundreds of times and inspired a wide range of visual representations and critiques. Although it is one of the most important printed texts in Scots literature, there has never been a scholarly edition which does justice to its complicated genesis and to the music of its many songs. This groundbreaking and definitive edition will be welcomed by scholars, teachers and practitioners of literature, drama and music, and opens up new avenues for research and performance. This scholarly edition includes: - Ramsay's text collated against all manuscripts and relevant printed editions - All known contemporary sources for the music, showing how the tunes circulated in Ramsay's own time - Extensive textual and musical introductions that situate the text within its various histories of composition, its political, historical, and literary contexts, and its reception.
