II. Another Dialogue, to be sung at the same time.

CANT.
Now is the time, now is the hower
When joy first blest this happy Bower:

TEN.
Here is a sight that sweetens every sower.

CANT.
So shines the Moon by night,

TEN.
So looks the Sun by day;

CANT.
Heavenly is his light,

TEN.
And never shal decay.

CHORUS.
There is no voice enough can sing
The praise of our great King.

CANT.
Fal, showers of sweet delight;

TEN.
Spring, flowers of plesant mirth;

CANT.
What heaven hath beams that shine more bright?

TEN.
Here heven is now, stars shine on earth.

CANT.
In one all honor groweth,

TEN.
From one all comfort floweth:

BOTH.
Dutie saith that to this one all it hath it oweth.

CHORUS.
Let then that one of all be praised
That hath our fortunes raised.
