Nature
To Apollo
From Lyrics from the Dramatists of the Elizabethan Age, ed. A. H. Bullen (London: Nimmo, 1889)
Nature
Fair Apollo, whose bright beams
Cheers all the world below:
The birds that sing, the plants that spring,
The herbs and flowers that grow:
O, lend thy aid to a swain sore oppressed,
That his mind
Soon may find
The delight that sense admits!
And by a maid let his harms be redressed,
That no pain
Do remain
In his mind to offend his wits!
