[As the sweet breath and gentle gales]

As the sweet breath and gentle gales of our Pernassus

As the sweet breath and gentle gales of our Pernassus glads the vales whose resounding Ecchoes prove a Chorus, a Chorus, to our songs of love: So lofty charms, so lofty charms, of Musicks skill, the ravisht heart with pleasures fill, with pleasures fill, voice of Cupid sings above, the heart below doth Eccho love.
