No. 26 - Entrance of the Masquers and Chorus
| Basses: | Far from eastern seas, Where the perfum'd breeze Seem'd to bid us stay Upon our homeward way; Gentle winds did waft To the north our craft, As with jest and song We sail'd along. |
| Tenors: | On the Spanish main, Gallant ships of Spain Sped in rivalry Their freight to thee. |
| Ladies: | Stones of untold price, Cloths of untold price At your feet we lay this happy day. |
| All: | Gold from Afric's sand, Silver from the land Where the sun doth rest In the burning west, Spice from Araby, Pearl of Persian sea, Here on bended knee We bring to thee |
