The fourth Song.
MAke roome, for my rich waters fall,
And blesse my Floud,
Nylus come flowing to you all
Encrease and good.
Now the Plants and Flowers shall spring,
And the merry Ploughman sing.
In my hidden waves I bring
Bread, and Wine, and every thing;
Let the Damsels sing me in,
Sing aloud that I may rise:
Your Holy Feasts and houres begin,
And each man brings a Sacrifice;
Now my wanton Pearles I show
That to Ladies faire necks grow;
Now my Gold
And Treasures that can ne're be told,
Shall blesse this Land by my rich Flow;
And after this to crown your eyes,
My hidden holy bed arise.
