The second Straine.
LOVE.
WHen was old Sherewood's head more quaintly curl'd?
Or look'd the Earth more greene upon the world?
Or Natures Cradle mere inchas'd, and purl'd?

When did the Aire so smile, the Winds so chime?
As Quiristers of Season, and the Prime!
Dou.
If what they doe, be done in their due time.
CHORVS.
Hee makes the time for whom 't is done,
From whom the warmth, heat, life, begun,
Into whose fostring armes doe run
All that have being from the Sun.
Such is the fount of light, the King,
The heart, that quickens ev'ry thing,
And makes the Creatures language all one voyce;
In Welcome, Welcome, Welcome, to rejoyce:
Welcome is all our Song, is all our sound,
The Treble part, the Tenor, and the Ground.
