The Nymphs and shepherds danced

G. Marson

The Nymphs and Shepherds danced,

Lavoltos in a dazy tapstered valley,

love from their face lamps glanced,

till wantonly they dally.

Then in a Rose banked ally,

Bright Majesty advanced,

a crown-graced Virgin whom all people honor,

they leave their sport amazed,

run all to look upon her,

a moment scarce they gazed

Ere beauty's splendor

all their eyes had dazed,

desire to see yet ever

fixed upon her.

Then sang the Shepherds and Nymphs of Diana,

Long live fair Oriana.
