The Song.
From th'Earth where honour long hath slept,
And noblest dust (as treasure kept)
By hallowing clay hath made it shine
More glorious then an Indian mine,
These brave Heroick shadowes come
To sport in this Elizium.
And noblest dust (as treasure kept)
By hallowing clay hath made it shine
More glorious then an Indian mine,
These brave Heroick shadowes come
To sport in this Elizium.
Chorus.
For theirs and this doe both agreeJn all but the Eternitie.
From th'ayre, or from the Spheares above
As they in perfect concord move.
Let Musick sound, and such as may
Equall his harpe that rules the day.
Thus doe we welcome you to night
Vnto our Mansion of delight.
As they in perfect concord move.
Let Musick sound, and such as may
Equall his harpe that rules the day.
Thus doe we welcome you to night
Vnto our Mansion of delight.
Chorus.
For yours and this doe both agreeJn all but the Eternitie.
Time.
Old Time leaves all his blessings that he may
Here with this presence; and will every day
Confirme possession. Sadly sets the Sunne
After his dayes course cheerefully was runne.
The Moone lookes pale; the Tapers dimnly burne:
The feare of your departure makes them mourne.
Sweet rest attend ye all: Good night 'tis late,
Many birth-dayes may you thus celebrate.
Time being received into the Scæne it closeth.
The End.
