Hearke, hearke, the Larke at Heavens gate sings,
     and Phœbus gins arise,
His Steeds to water at those Springs
     on chalic'd Flowres that lyes:
And winking Mary-buds begin to ope their Golden eyes
With every thing that pretty is, my Lady sweet arise:
     Arise arise.

Note: The poem is Cloten's song in act II, scene 3.
