Two centuries of song : or, Lyrics, madrigals, sonnets, and other occasional verses of the English poets of the last two hundred years . Thou hast thy mighty herds. Tame, and free livers ;Doubt not, thy music too In the deep rivers ;And the whole plumy flight,Warbling the day and night—Up at the gates of light,See, the lark quivers ! When with the jacinth Coy fountains are tressed ; And for the mournful birdGreen woods are dressed. That did for Tereus pine ; Then shall our songs be thine To whom our hearts incline:May, be thou blessed I.
