¶Lyrics / Text

<b>Soprano</b> How well doth this harmonious meeting prove a feast of music is a feast of love, where kindness is our tune and we in parts do but sing forth the comforts of our hearts For friendship is nothing but concord of votes and music is made by a friendship of notes. <b>Chorus</b> Come then to the God of our art let us quaff, for he once a year is reputed to laugh.
