As Vesta was from Latmos hill descending

Language: English

Our translations: DUT

As Vesta was from Latmos hill descending,
she spied a maiden Queen the same ascending,
Attended on by all the shepherds' swain,
to whom Diana's darlings came running down amain,
First two by two, then three by three together,
Leaving their goddess all alone hasted thither;
And mingling with the shepherds of her train,
with mirthful tunes her presence entertain.
Then sang the shepherds and nymphs of Diana,
Long live fair Oriana!

Vesta kwam van haar Latmosheuvel naar benee

Language: Dutch (Nederlands) after the English

Vesta kwam van haar Latmosheuvel naar benee
En zag, haar tegemoet, een maagd, een koningin
Omringd door zwijnehoeders en hun vee
En al Diana's lievelingen kwamen mee
Eerst 2-aan 2, toen 3-aan-3, toen iedereen
Ze lieten inderhaast hun godin helemaal alleen
Om zich fluks bij die herdersgroep te voegen
Met lustig lied tot algemeen genoegen.
En toen zong elke nimf en herder van Diana:
Lang leve onze schone Oriana !
