Jolly madrigal composed in honour of Queen Elizabeth the First of England
All creatures now are merry minded.
The shepherds' daughters playing,
the nymphs are falalaing
Yond bugle was well winded.
At Oriana's presence each thing smileth.
The flowers themselves discover,
birds over her do hover,
music the time beguileth.
See where she comes with flowery garlands crowned,
queen of all queens renowned.
Then sang the shepherds and nymphs of Diana:
Long live fair Oriana.
