Loves Bachinall.
Lay that sullen Garland by thee,
Keep it for th'Elizium shades;
Take my wreath of lusty Ivy,
Not of that faint Mirtle made;
When I see thy soul descending
To that cold unfertile Plain
Of sad fools the Lake attending,
Thou shalt wear this Crown again.
Keep it for th'Elizium shades;
Take my wreath of lusty Ivy,
Not of that faint Mirtle made;
When I see thy soul descending
To that cold unfertile Plain
Of sad fools the Lake attending,
Thou shalt wear this Crown again.
Now drink wine, and know the ods
'Twixt that Lethe, 'twixt that Lethe,
'Twixt that Lethe, and the Gods.
'Twixt that Lethe, 'twixt that Lethe,
'Twixt that Lethe, and the Gods.
Rouse thy dull and drowsie spirits,
Here's the soul reviving streams,
The stupid Lovers brain inherits
Nought but vain and empty dreams.
Here's the soul reviving streams,
The stupid Lovers brain inherits
Nought but vain and empty dreams.
Think not thou these dismall trances,
Which our raptures can content,
The Lad that laughs, sings and dances,
Shall come soonest to his end.

Cho.
Sadnesse may some pity move,Mirth and courage, mirth and courage,
Mirth and courage conquers love.
Fy then on that cloudy fore-head,
Ope thou vainly crossed armes;
Thou mayst as well call back the buried
As raise Love by such like charmes.
Ope thou vainly crossed armes;
Thou mayst as well call back the buried
As raise Love by such like charmes.
Sacrifice a glasse of Clarret
To each letter of her name;
Gods have oft descended for it,
Mortals must do more the same.

If she comes not at that flood,
Sleep will come sleep will come,
Sleep will come and that's as good.
Sleep will come sleep will come,
Sleep will come and that's as good.
