GOD Lyaeus, ever young, Ever honour’d, ever sung, Stain’d with blood of lusty grapes… In a thousand lusty shapes Dance upon the mazer’s brim,

Orpheus with his lute made trees, And the mountain-tops that freeze, Bow themselves when he did sing: To his music plants and flowers Ever sprung; as sun and showers

BEAUTY clear and fair,    Where the air Rather like a perfume dwells;    Where the violet and the rose    Their blue veins and blush disc…

SING his praises that doth keep    Our flocks from harm. Pan, the father of our sheep;    And arm in arm Tread we softly in a round,

Oh, fair sweet face! oh, eyes, cel… Twin stars in heaven, that now ado… Oh, fruitful lips, where cherries… And damask cheeks, where all sweet… Oh, thou, from head to foot divine…

Oh, fair sweet goddess, queen of l… Soft and gentle as thy doves, Humble-eyed, and ever ruing Those poor hearts, their loves pur… Oh, thou mother of delights,

NOW the lusty spring is seen;    Golden yellow, gaudy blue,    Daintily invite the view: Everywhere on every green Roses blushing as they blow,

Through yon same bending plain, That flings his arms down to the m… And through these thick woods have… Whose bottom never kissed the sun Since the lusty spring began;

HEAR, ye ladies that despise    What the mighty Love has done; Fear examples and be wise:    Fair Callisto was a nun; Leda, sailing on the stream
