[IIII. All cre'tures now are merry]

All cre'tures now are merry minded

All cre'tures now are merry minded, The shepherds daughters playing, The Nimphes are Fa la laing, Yond bugle was well winded, At Orianaes presence each thing smileth, the flowers themselues discouer, Birds ouer hir do houer, Musicke the time beguileth See wher she comes, with flowry garlands crowned, Queene of all queenes renowned, Then sang the shepherds & Nimphes of Diana, long faire Oriana, Long liue faire Oriana.
