Rise heart; thy Lord is risen. Sing his praise
\nWithout delayes,
\nWho takes thee by the hand, that thou likewise
\nWith him mayst rise:
\nThat, as his death calcined1 thee to dust,
\nHis life may make thee gold, and much more, just.<\/p>\n
Awake, my lute, and struggle for thy part
\nWith all thy art.
\nThe crosse taught all wood to resound his name,
\nWho bore the same.
\nHis stretched sinews taught all strings, what key
\nIs best to celebrate this most high day.<\/p>\n
Consort both heart and lute, and twist a song
\nPleasant and long:
\nOr, since all musick is but three parts vied
\nAnd multiplied,
\nO let thy blessed Spirit bear a part,
\nAnd make up our defects with his sweet art.<\/p>\n
