lyrics

Cease leaden slumber dreaming,
my Genius presents the cause of sweet musickes meaning,
Now which breedes my soules content,
and bids my Muse awake,
to heare sweete musickes note,
that cherefully, glads me so cherefully.

Me thought as I lay sleeping,
dreames did enchaunt me with the prayse of musicke and her worth
and her eternisht fame,
But now I finde indeed
my leaden windowes open,
that cherefully, comforts full cherefully.

Night, gloomy vaile to the morn
dreames affright, no more where sweet musicke is now still appearing,
leave passions to perplexe,
For now my soule delights in musicks harmony,
whose heavenly noyse,
glads soules with tongue and voice,
for now my soule delights, in heavenly noise
of musickes sweetest joyes.
