¶Lyrics / Text

Welcome to the grove, these flowers, These bowers, this embroidered bed of flowers. Here with a song more sweet than long, We will beguile the sliding hours. See a new spring and every plant, Which of perfection finds a want, doth from that cheek and from that eye Crave and receive a new supply. The sun observing marigold That with his light her beams unfold: Those tulips a new way do seek To stock their mixtures from her cheek. Those violets drooping near to death, Take life and odour from her breath, Whilst the whole choir of birds Rejoice to improve their warbling from her voice. Then all must grant here's to be seen, Beauties' and music's magazine.
