Ceres.
Here is that whose sweet variety
Giues you pleasure and delight;
Makes you full, without sacietie;
Wasts the day, and hasts the night.

Bacch.
This will rouze the man of warr,
When the drum shall beate in vaine;
When his spirits drooping are,
This will make them rise againe.

Chor.
You that ioyntly doe inherit
Venus beautie, Mars his spirit,
Freely taste our bountie; so
Mars shall smile, and Venus to.
