[XIII. Arise, awake, you silly shepherds sleeping]

Arise, awake, awake, awake you silly shepherds sleeping

Arise, awake, awake, awake you silly shepherds sleeping, awake, awake Deuise, some honour for her sake to banish weeping, by mirth to banish weeping, Loe wher she comes, she comes in gaudie greene araying, A Prince, of beauty rich and rare, for her delighting, Pretends to goe a Maying, You stately Nymphs draw neere, and strew your pathes with Roses, In you her trust reposes, Then sang the shepherds and Nimphs of Diana, Long liue faire Oriana,
