Cantus Secundus. a. 3. voc.

〈♫〉〈♫〉 AMong Rose buds slept a Bee 
〈♫〉〈♫〉 wak'd by Love who could not see; 
〈♫〉〈♫〉 His soft finger that was stung, 
〈♫〉〈♫〉 then away poore Cupid flung. 

〈♫〉〈♫〉 First he ran, then flew about, 
〈♫〉〈♫〉 and to Venus thus cry'd out 
〈♫〉〈♫〉 Help Mother, help, Oh! I'm undone, 
〈♫〉〈♫〉 a Scorpion hath stung your sonne.
