Love
Breathe again, while we with music
From The Lords' Masque (1613)
Love
Breathe again, while we with music
Fill the empty space:
O but do not in your dances
Yourselves only grace.
Ev'ry one fetch out your fere,
Whom chiefly you will honour here.
Sights most pleasure breed,
When their numbers most exceed.
Choose then, for choice to all is free;
Taken or left, none discontent must be.
