Liedtext |
Long live fair Oriana. Hark, did you ever hear so sweet a singing? They sing young love to waken. The nymphs unto the woods their Queen are bringing. There was a note well taken! O good! Hark, how joyfully 'tis dittied, A Queen and song most excellently fitted! I never heard a rarer I never saw a fairer. Then sing ye shepherds and nymphs of Diana: Long live fair Oriana. |
