Awake mine eyes, see ''Phoebus'' bright arising,
 
And lesser Lights to shades obscure descending,
Awake mine eyes, see ''Phoebus'' bright arising,<br>
Glad ''Philomela'' sits tunes of joy devising,
And lesser Lights to shades obscure descending,<br>
Whilst in sweet notes, from warbling throtes
Glad ''Philomela'' sits tunes of joy devising,<br>
The Silvan Quire with like desire,
Whilst in sweet notes, from warbling throtes<br>
To her are Ecchoes sending.}}
The Silvan Quire with like desire,<br>
To her are Ecchoes sending.<br>

Awake mine eyes, see Phoebus bright arising,
And lesser Lights to shades obscure descending,
Glad Philomela sits tunes of joy devising,
Whilst in sweet notes, from warbling throtes
The Silvan Quire with like desire,
To her are Ecchoes sending.
