- Edition notes: Reformating of #13105, which is really SSTB rather than SATB, since both Soprano and Alto parts go up to an A above the Treble stave. This version is transposed down a major 3rd. Includes a keyboard reduction of the a cappella choral score.

English text
Thrice blessed be the giver, be the giver,
that gave sweet Love that golden quiver,
and live he long among the gods anointed,
that made the arrowheads sharp-pointed.
If either of them both had quailed,
she of my love, and I of hers, had failed.
