E L I S A B E T H A R E G I N A ARLEY, cheerfull, mounting Larke, ight's gentle vsher, Morning's clark, n merry notes delighting ; tint awhile thy song, and harke, nd learne my new inditing. eare vp this hymne, to heau'n it beare, uen vp to heau'n, and sing it there, o heau'n each morning beare it ; aue it set to some sweet sphere, nd let the Angels heare it. enownd Astræa, that great name, xceeding great in worth and fame, reat worth hath so renownd it ; t is Astræa's name I praise, ow then, sweet Larke, do thou it raise, nd in high Heauen resound it.
