GM - The nymphs and shepherds danced  

---------------------------------------------------------------

The nymphs and shepherds danced
La Voltos in a daisy-tapestred valley;     
Love from their face-lamps glanced,      
Till wantonly they dally:     
Till in a rose-banked alley       
Bright Majesty advanced,  
A crown-graced Virgin, whom all people honour;
They leave their sport, amazed,
Run all to look upon her.
A moment scarce they gazed, 
Ere Beauty's splendour all their eyes had dazed, 
Desire to see yet ever fixed on her. 

Then sang the shepherds and nymphs of Diana,        
Long live fair Oriana!
