Arise, awake, awake, You silly shepherds sleeping; Devise some honour for her sake By mirth to banish weeping. See where she comes, lo where, In gaudy green arraying, A pfince of beauty rich and rare for her delighting Pretends to go a-maying. You stately nymphs draw near And strew your paths with roses; In you her trust reposes. Then sang the shepherds and nymphs of Diana: Long live fair Oriana.
