Follow ye Nymphs and Shepherds all,
 * Come celebrate this Festival,
 * And merrily sing, and sport, and play,
 * For 'tis Oriana's Nuptial Day.

To Oriana.] Queen of Britain, and of Love,
 * Be happy as the Blest above;
 * A joyful Day is in thy Power,
 * Seize, O seize the smiling Hour.
 * Graces numberless attend thee,
 * The Gods as many Blessings send thee:
 * Be happy as the Blest above,
 * Queen of Britain, and of Love.

[Exeunt, singing in

Follow ye Nymphs, &c.


 * Ori. Preposterous Nuptials, that fill ev'ry Breast

With Joy, but only hers, who shou'd be blest. Rh
