| Contents | [v. 1] Arise my muse ; Welcome to all the pleasures ; Now does the glorious day appear -- [v. 2] Hail, bright Cecilia ; Who can from joy refrain? -- v. 3. Fly bold rebellion ; Sound the trumpet, beat the drum ; Celebrate this festival -- v. 4. Ye tuneful muses ; Celestial music did the gods inspire ; From hardy climes and dangerous toils of war -- v. 5. Welcome, welcome, glorious morn ; Great parent, hail to thee ; The summer's absence unconcerned we bear -- v. 6. Love's goddess sure was blind ; Raise, raise the voice ; Laudate Cecilium ; From those serene and rapturous joys -- v. 7. Of old, when heroes thought it base ; Swifter, Isis, swifter flow ; What, what shall be done in behalf of the man? -- v. 8. Come ye sons of art away ; Welcome, Vicegerent of the mighty King -- Why, why are all the muses mute? |
