Our praiſe Pelaſgia's towns demand;
And each fresh fount, that loves to lead
His humid train thro' grove, thro' mead,
And rolls luxuriance thro' the land.
Virgin Diana, bend thine eye,
1115
And piteous of a virgin's woes,
O ſave enſnared chaſtity,
From the rude touch of hated foes:
Nor ſee thy ſtruggling vot'ries led
Where Venus decks the bed!

but the rivers that pour through this country a willing stream, authors of increase, softening this soil of the earth with enriching weaves. And may chaste Diana regard with pity this train: nor through necessity let Cythercan nuptials come: but this reward is hateful 2

Li udranno i fiumi che feraci e provvidi
sopra questa contrada i flutti volgono,

Die das Land tränken mit Labsal,
Und in allnährenden Windungen sich ergießend,
Durch die Gau'n fruchtspendend hinzieh'n.
