Wake, sleepy Thyrsis, wake For Love and Venus’ sake! Come, let us mount the hills Which Zephyrus with cool breath fills; Or let us tread new alleys, In yonder shady valleys. Rise, rise, rise, rise! Lighten thy heavy eyes:[Pg 145] See how the streams do glide And the green meads divide: But stream nor fire shall part This and this joinèd heart.
Second Set of Madrigals
