Who is Silvia?
Who is silvia? What is she,
that all our swains commend her?
Holy, fair, and wise is she;
the heaven such grace did lend her,
that she might admired be.
Is she kind as she is fair?
For beauty lives with kindness.
Love doth to her eyes repair
to help him of his blindness,
and, being help'd, inhabits there.
Then to Silvia let us sing
that Silvia is excelling;
she excels each mortal thing
upon the dull earth dwelling.
To her let us garlands bring.

Act IV, Scene II
