Shall I be a shepherdess with a Watteau hat, and a crook to keep the bad wolves from the lambs,...
It is natural that a city girl would have no idea what a crook is for. The crook can be slipped around the neck of a sheep to separate it from other sheep. It would not be of any use with a wolf. Little old David needed a sling.

And the rod was used by the shepherd to toss at four-footed enemies...

Not little David. He used a sling, far more effective, and far greater range.
