Scen. 9.

Chorus
Song 1.

1.

Weep forth Phrygian Swans,
Phrygian Swans weep forth


To see so far (but cruel)
A creature on the earth.
Who is beyond all nature,
Or pencill art can make;
Weep forth, weep forth,
So fair, but obstinate.

2.

Heavens send a smile
Prospering the successe,
To gain so fair a substance
Within her selfe a blesse;
VVho is belov'd of all souls,
Yet makes their bodies quake;
Weep forth, weep forth,
So fair, but obstinate,

3.

She's a morning star,
Lighting mens hearts;
But when they see that object,
She wounds them with loves darts;
Yet they are so intangled,
That they'l die for her sake:
Weep forth, weep forth,
So fair, but obstinate.

[Chorus.]
Song 2.

1.

Let quick-foot nimble Doe
Surround the valleys all,
And make a pleasant consort,
As they each other call,
For peace doth bind them to it;
Aberden got the day,
Both Bucks and Does may play their fills,
There's none will again-say.

2.

He rides in great triumph,
With subjects waiting on,
And with his most cursed Queen,
Without Rebellion.
Celerinus forc'd to turn
His Majesty to yield


And glad that he escaped so
To give Aberden field.

3.

Their valours play their part,
Æneas and Turnus great,
Did neither of them manage
Their Army so comple at:
But when the foul smoaky clouds,
That they with Gun-shot made,
Was vanisht, and was turn'd serene,
Aberden he best plaid:
