Song: Bring away this Sacred Tree
Language: English
Eternitie singes alone Bring away this Sacred Tree, The Tree of Grace and Bountie, Set it in Bel-Annas eye, For she, she, only she Can all Knotted spels vnty. Pull'd from the Stocke, let her blest Hands conuay To any suppliant Hand, a bough, And let that Hand aduance it now Against a Charme, that Charme shall fade away.
