What haue the Gods, their comfort sent from heauen

What haue the Gods, their comfort sent from heauen, To charme my sences, with heauens harmony, Care they for mee, of all my ioyes bereauen, Send they heauens quire, to make mee melody, Blessing me, with Musickes felicitie, If it bee so, great may your godheads be, and greater still to ease my misery.
