Lyrics: Anon, probably the composer

Sweet muses, nymphs and shepherds sporting,
Sound your shrillest notes of joy consorting.
Fauns and satyrs all, and thou, Echo,
Sing after me: Ta na na no.
Now join we all together
To welcome Sylvia hither,
And sweetly sing: Ta na na na na no.

Aye me! wherefore sighs the fair Sylvia?
(Alas) for her Syrenio.
But why Rhodanthe fairest?
For her sweet Sylvio dearest.
Aye me! Echo, sweetly sing,
Nymphs and swains "ay me" reporting.

Sweet muses...
