Nor Cæsar be Dictator there,
Nor shall Cornelia shed a teare.

XLVI.
The Royal Nun.
Chorus of Virgins.
O Chrisostome! look down, and see

That she on earth appeares a star.

And after-times shall sing her fame.

Her holy birth-day now begin;
In humble weeds, but cleane array,
Thy houres shall sweetly pass away:

In humble weeds, but cleane array,
Thy houres shall sweetly pass away:
