HYMNE I. Of Astrœa.
Early before the day doth spring,
Let us awake my Muse, and sing:
It is no time to slumber,
So many ioyes this time doth bring,
As Time will faile to number.
Let us awake my Muse, and sing:
It is no time to slumber,
So many ioyes this time doth bring,
As Time will faile to number.
But whereto shall we bend our layes?
Euen vp to Heauen, againe to raise
The Mayd, which thence descended:
Hath brought againe the golden dayes,
And all the world amended.
Euen vp to Heauen, againe to raise
The Mayd, which thence descended:
Hath brought againe the golden dayes,
And all the world amended.
Rudenesse it selfe she doth refine,
Euen like an Alchymist diuine,
Grosse times of yron turning
Into the purest forme of gold:
Not to corrupt, till heauen waxe old,
And be refined with burning.
Euen like an Alchymist diuine,
Grosse times of yron turning
Into the purest forme of gold:
Not to corrupt, till heauen waxe old,
And be refined with burning.
