¶Liedtext

Come all, ye tuneful sisters, bring each warbling voice, each vocal string. 'Tis Strephon bids attend. Strephon the joy of ev'ry heart a friend. Phebus thou God of health and song preside in the melodious throng, and grace the genial feast. Let the sweet female Treble join the manly Bass, and both combine to charm each am'rous breast. Hail to Elisa, chast and fair. Hail to the loving lovely pair. Guard 'em ye pow'rs above in all life's long and happy scene, let nought be heard, let nought be seen but harmony and love.
