Then the following Song, between the first and second Act.
I.
Where Tagus, Crown'd with plumes of Woods,(Now master of the field)
Makes to his Chrystal Yoak the Floods
Of proud Harama yield.
II.
Beliza (Shepherdess on EarthThe best that e're sway'd hook)
The day of her Phileno's birth
Did like an Angel look.
III.
And a new Quire of Nimphs appearsTo celebrate in Verse
(At least if Gods do count their years)
His happy Anniverse.

And in this Novelty,
With brave variety,
We all joyn as one;
For the better adorning
In the Western Levant the fair years of a Sun,
Which make all but one Morning.
With brave variety,
We all joyn as one;
For the better adorning
In the Western Levant the fair years of a Sun,
Which make all but one Morning.
IV.
Now festive, and MajesticalHave lost, on Tagus's shore,
The fear of being match'd at all,
The hope of being more.
V.
After so much of Greatness shown,And an applause not under,
Nothing will ever dare to own
The title of a Wonder.
VI.
For that BELIZA's Name (the stuffOf everlasting story)
Alone is Festival enough,
And hath to spare of Glory.
39
And in this Novelty,
With sweet variety,
We all joyn as one;
For the better adorning
In a Western Levant the fair years of a Sun,
Which make all but one Morning.
With sweet variety,
We all joyn as one;
For the better adorning
In a Western Levant the fair years of a Sun,
Which make all but one Morning.
