The QUEEN's Epicedium.  By Mr. Herbert. 

NO, Lesbian, no, you ask in vain,  
My Harp, my Mind's unstrung;  
When all the World's in tears, in pain▪  
Do you require a Song?   

(2)  
See, see how every Nymph and Swain  
Hang down their pensive Heads, and weep!  
No Voice nor Pipe is heard in all the Plain;  
So great their Sorrows, they neglect their Sheep.   

(3)  
The Queen! the Queen of Arcady is gone!  
Lesbian, the Loss can't be expressed;  
Not by the deepest Sigh, or Grone,  
Or Throbbing of the Breast.   

(4)  
Ah! poor Arcadians! how they mourn!  
O the Delight, and Wonder of their Eyes!  
She's gone! and never, never must return;  
Her Star is fixed, and shines beyond the Skies.   

(5)  
Panthea's Eye was over all the Land;  
She succoured many Tender Lambs:  
And took delight to feed, with Her own Hand,  
Whole Flocks of Weak, Decaying Dams.   

(6)  
The Pastors, they were Her peculiar Care.  
How She regarded Those within the Pale!  
Daily She Offered up Unblemished Prayer,  
And every Moon She Sacrificed, for All.   

The Queen's Epicedium.  Set by Dr. Blow. 
NO, No, no, Lis— bia,  
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, Lis— bia, no, no, no, no, you ask  
in vain; no, no, no, no, my Harp, my Mind, my Mind's unstrung;  
no, no, no, no when all, all, all, when all the World's in Tears, in  
pain, do you, do you, do you re-quire a Song? No, no, no  
Lis— bia, no, no, no, no. See, see,  
see, see how ev— ' ry Nymph, ev'— ' ry Nymph, ev— ' ry  
Nymph and Swain, hang down, down their Heads and weep, and weep,  
hang down, down their Heads and weep, and weep! No Voice  
nor Pipe is heard in all the Plain, no Voice nor Pipe is heard in all the  
Plain; so great their Sorrows, so great their Sorrows, so great their Sorrows, they  
neg— lect their Sheep; so great their Sorrows, so great their Sorrows, they  
neg— lect their Sheep. The Queen! the Queen of  
Arcady is gone! Les—  
— bia, the Loss can't be ex— pressed; she's gone, Les  
— bia, the Loss, the Loss, the  
Loss can't be ex— pressed; not with the deepest Sigh—  
Groan, not with the deepest Sighs or Groan, or Throb— bings of the  
Breast. Ah! poor Are— ca— dianes!  
how they mourn, ah! poor Are— ca— dianes, see how they mourn!  
Oh! the de-light and wonder of their Eyes! she's gone, and never, no, never  
must re— turn; Ah! poor Are— cadians! she's gone, she's gone,  
see how they mourn; she's gone, she's gone, and ne—  
— ver, no, ne— ver to re— turn; she's  
gone, she's gone, their Star is fixed and shines beyond the Skies, their  
Starr is fixed and shines be— yond the Skies.    

Latin Redditum.  

INcassum, Lesbian, incassum rogas,  
Lyra mea, Mens est immodulata;  
Terrarum Orbe lacrymarum pleno,  
Dolorum: rogitas tu cantilenam?   

En Nymphas! En pastors! caput omne reclinat  
Juncorum instar! admodum fletur;  
Nec Galatea canit, nec ludit Tityrus agris:  
Non curant oves, moerore perditi,   

Regina! heu! Arcadia Regina  
Periit! O! Damnum non exprimendum;  
Non, non suspiriis, gemitibus imis,  
Pectoris aut queruli singultu turbido.   

Miseros Arcadas! O quam lugentes!  
Suorum Gaudium Oculorum, Mirum  
Abiit! nunquam, O nunquam reversurum!  
Stella sua fixa coelum ultra lucet.   

Panthea, totos vigil per agros,  
Teneros Agnos plurimos nutrivit:  
Delectata manu pascendo propria  
Integros Matrum greges aegrarum.   

pastors proprium sibi peculium;  
Hos sepem intra quam bene curavit!  
Oblatis Precibus indies immaculatis,  
Noviluniis, pro Omnibus sacrificavit.
