" Piping down the valleys wild, Piping songs of pleasant glee, On a cloud I saw a child, And he laughing said to me — Pipe a song about a lamb ; So I piped with' merry cheer. Piper, pipe that song again — So I piped — he wept to hear. "
The Lives of the Most Eminent British Painters, Sculptors, and Architects - Page 148
by Allan Cunningham - 1830
