Lyrics: Anon
Gentle swains, unseal your eyes,
Beauteous nymphs from slumber rise;
Rise and see the morn appears,
Object of our hopes and fears.
Heav'n upon your labour smiles,
Bids you cease this day from toils;
Bids it sacred be to mirth,
That to the god of love gave birth.
Gentle swains, unseal your eyes,
Beauteous nymphs from slumber rise;
Rise and see the morn appears,
Object of our hopes and fears.
Heav'n upon your labour smiles,
Bids you cease this day from toils;
Bids it sacred be to mirth,
That to the god of love gave birth.
