Who is Sylvia

Who is Sylvia? What is she

That all our swains commend her?

Lovely, fair, and wise is she

The hymn such grace did lend her

That adored she might be

That adored she might be

Is she kind as she is fair?

For beauty lives with kindness

To her eyes love does repair

To help him of his blindness

And being helped, inhabits them

And being helped, inhabits them

To lovely Sylvia, oh, let us garlands bring

For Sylvia excels each mortal thing

For lovely Sylvia excels all things
