Come come blessed Bird and with thy sugred rellish,
Help our declining quire now to embellish,
For Bonny bootes, that so aloft would fetch it,
Oh he is dead, and none of vs can reach it,
Then tune to vs sweet Bird thy shrill recorder,
for fault of better will serue in the Corus,
Begin and we will follow thee in order,
Then sang the Woodborne minstrell of Diana,
Long liue faire Oriana. FINIS.

– The Triumphs of Oriana: Come come blessed Bird and with thy sugred rellish,
Edward Johnson (1601)
