Mute thy Coronation－1
Meek my Vive le roi,
Fold a tiny courtier
In thine Ermine, Sir,
There to rest revering 5
Till the pageant by,
I can murmur broken,
Master, It was I－
Meek my Vive le roi,
Fold a tiny courtier
In thine Ermine, Sir,
There to rest revering 5
Till the pageant by,
I can murmur broken,
Master, It was I－
(F.133/J.151)
