A SONG for St. CAECILIA's Day 1685. Written by Mr. N. Tate , and Set by Mr. William Turner . TUne the Viol , Touch the Lute , Wake the Harp , inspire the Flute , Call the Jolly Swains away , Love and Musick reign to day . Let your Kids and Lamkins rove , Let them sport or feed at will , Grace the Vale , or climb the Hill : Let them feed , or let them love : Let them love , or let them stray : Let them feed , or let them play : Neglect 'em or guide 'em , No harm shall betide 'em , On Bright Caecilia , Bright Caecilia's Day . Thus the Nymphs and Jolly Swains , Kindly mingled on the Plains , In delightful Measures move , Full of Joy and full of Love , With their Cheerful Roundelay , Celebrate Caecilia's Day , While Angels join in Consort from Above . What Charms can Musick not impart , That through the Ear finds passage to the Heart ? In vain the Muse indites the Lovers Tale : In vain his dolefule words declare His Passion to the Cruel Fair : 'T is Musick only makes his Song prevail : This only can her scorn controul , In vain do Wit and Sense combine , Without this Art to make our Numbers shine : Words are the Body , Musick is the Soul . Call the Jolly Swains away , To celebrate Caecilia's Day . Rouze the Viol , wake the Lyre To sing her Praise who did our Art inspire . Let victorious Heroes stay At leisure we will do them Right , To our own Art we consecrate this Day , And Musick best can Musicks Praise recite . FINIS .
