O joys exceeding
From Entertainment given by the Lord Knowles (1613)
History & Politics
O joys exceeding,
From love, from power of your wished sight proceeding!
As a fair morn shines divinely,
Such is your view, appearing more divinely.
Your steps ascending,
Raise high your thoughts for your content contending;
All our hearts of this grace vaunting,
Now leap as they were moved by enchanting.
