by Thomas Campion (1567 - 1620)
Yet once again, let us our measures move
Language: English
Yet once again, let us our measures move; And with sweet notes record our joyful love. An object more divine none ever had: Then with a dance triumphant let us sing. Her high advanced praise; And ev'n to heaven our gladsome welcome With wings of music raise; Yet once again, let us our measures move And with sweet notes record our joyful love. An object more divine none ever had: Welcome, O welcome, ever-honoured Queen, To this now blessed place.
