The Fauns and Satyrs Tripping by Thomas Tomkins Lyrics
The Fauns and Satyrs tripping
With lively Nymphs of fresh, cool brooks and fountains
And those of woods and mountains:
Like Roes, came nimbly skipping
By signs their mirth unripping
My fair Queen, they presented with Amaltheas twenty
Brimful of wealthy plenty
And still to give, frequented
With bare gifts not contented
The demigods pray to the Gods supernal;
Her life, Her wealth, Her fame may be eternal
Then sang the shepherds and Nymphs of Diana:
Long live fair Oriana!
With lively Nymphs of fresh, cool brooks and fountains
And those of woods and mountains:
Like Roes, came nimbly skipping
By signs their mirth unripping
My fair Queen, they presented with Amaltheas twenty
Brimful of wealthy plenty
And still to give, frequented
With bare gifts not contented
The demigods pray to the Gods supernal;
Her life, Her wealth, Her fame may be eternal
Then sang the shepherds and Nymphs of Diana:
Long live fair Oriana!
