GRoves and Woods, high Rocks and Mountains,
    Springs and Floods, clear Brooks and Fountains,
Birds and Beasts that range with Pleasure,
    Hear, hear the Charm of my Voice,
Make hast and appear to dance a gay Measure,
And Phœbus please with Nature, and Arts valu'd treasure,
    Hast and see that no Sluggard refuses:
  Flora, delightful as blushing Aurora,
  To banish the Pest of Pandora,
  I summon thy Jessamine and Roses,
  Ye pretty young Nymphs with your Poesies,
  Come away when I sing and play,
        No Creature in Nature
        Be late here, but wait here,
        From Vulcan's hot Bellows,
        Air Neptune and Tellus,
        The Thrushes from Bushes,
        And Prickets from Thickets,
        Come whisk it and frisk it,
        And skip it and trip it,
In honour of Love and the Muses.


The first Song in the Modern Prophets. Sung by Mr. Pack.
