[Musick, thou Queen of souls get up]

Musick, Musick, thou Queen of souls get up

Musick, Musick, thou Queen of souls get up, get up, & sitting thy powerful Lute & some sad, some sad Requium sing, til Cliffs requite thy Eccho with a grone, and the dull Rocks repeat the duller tone,

Then on a suddain, &c.

The Oake her Roots, &c.

Chorus.

Mirtles shall caper, lofty Cedars run, & call the courtly palme to make up one: Then in the midst of all their jolly strain, then in the midst of all their jolly strain, strike a sad note, strike a sad note, strike a sad note and fix 'um Trees again.
