A SONG in Don Quixote.
Sung by one representing Joy. Set to Musick by Mr. Ralph Courtivill.
VIctumnus Flora you that bless the fields,
Where warbling Philomel,
Warbling Philomel in safety builds;
And to the Nymphs, to the Nymphs and Swains,
That Revel, Revel, Revel o're these plains,
That Revel o're these plains:
Dispose the Joy, dispose the Joy,
Dispose the Joys that Heav'n and Nature yields.
Call Hymen, call Hymen, call, call, call, call;
Call Hymen from his merry, merry, merry, merry, merry, merry home;
From his merry, merry, merry, merry home;
From his merry, merry, merry, merry home:
Call Hymen, call, call Hymen from his merry, merry, merry, merry, merry home;
Bid him prepare, prepare, bid him prepare,
Bid him prepare, prepare, prepare his Torch,
And come to Sing and Drink, to Sing and Drink,
To Sing and Drink full Bowls;
Call, call, call loud, call, call, call loud, loud,
Call loud, and say, 'tis Beauty's feast, 'tis Beauty's feast,
'Tis Beauty's feast, Quitera's Wedding Day;
'Tis Beauty's feast, Quitera's Wedding Day,
Quitera's Wedding Day.
