[VII. Sing merry merry birdes]

Sing merry merry birdes your chearefull noates

Sing merry merry birdes your chearefull noates O sing for Progne you haue seene, to come from sommers Queene, O tune, O tune your throats, when Progne comes, we then are warm forgetting all cold winters harme: Now may we pearch on branches greene & singing fit not be seen.
