Cantus Primus.

〈♫〉〈♫〉 DO not delay me, though you have the pow'r ages to stay me, O do't in an hour. Then do not slight me, O do not reject me! Say not what might be, since thus I affect thee.

II.
No bodies stirring, O none that can hear thee! Then leave demurring, since I am so near thee. This is the season each Bird is a building, You that have reason, O be not unwilling!
