Fair nymphs, I heard one telling,
Diana's train are hunting in this chase. 
to beautify the place,
The fawns are running,
The shepherds their pipes tuning,
To show their cunning.
The lambs amazed leave off their grazing,
And blind their eyes with gazing,
Whilst the earth's goddess doth draw near your places, 
Attended by the Muses and the Graces.
Then sang the shepherds and nymphs of Diana
Long live fair Oriana.
