When others sing Venite exultemus, [1]
Stand by and turn to Noli aemulari, [2]
For Quare fremuerunt [3] use Oremus; [4]
Vivat Eliza [5] for an Ave Maria, [6]
And teach those swains that live about thy cell,
To say Amen when thou dost pray so well.

[1] "Come, let us rejoice."
[2] The title of Psalm 36. Literally, "Seek not to envy."
[3] The title of Psalm 2. Literally, "Wherefore do they shout/disturb."
[4] "Let us pray."
[5] (Long) "Live Eliza" (Queen Elizabeth)
[6] "Hail Mary"
