Liedtext |
Come, blessed bird, and with thy sugared relish Help our declining choir now to embellish, For Bonny-boots, that so aloft would fetch it, O he is dead, and none of us can reach it. Then tune to us, sweet bird, thy shrill recorder. Elpin and I and Dorus, For fault of better, will serve in the chorus. Begin, and we will follow thee in order. Then sang the wood-born ministrel of Diana: Long live fair Oriana. |
