    Lavoltos in a daisy-tapstred valley.

    Bright Majesty advanced,
    A crown-graced virgin whom all people honour.

    The Nymphs and Shepherds Danced


    They leave their sport amazed,
    Run all to look upon her.
    A moment scarce they gazed
    Ere beautys splendour all their eyes had dazed,
    Desire to see yet ever fixed on her.

    Long live fair Oriana.
