¶Lyrics / Text

Cynthia, thy song and chanting, So strange a flame in gentle hearts awaketh, That every cold desire wanton love maketh, Sounds to thy praise and vaunting, Of syrens most commended, That with delightful tunes for praise contended; For when thou sweetly soundest, Thou neither kill'st nor woundest, But dost revive a number Of bodies buried in perpetual slumber.
