English text
Round about her chariot, with all admiring strains,
The Hyades and Dryades give sweetest entertains.
Lo, how the gods in revels do accord,
Whilst doth each goddess melodies afford.
O look, now Bacchus is consorting,
Silvanus falls asporting,
Amphion's harp's reporting.
To the shepherds' pipes sing the nymphs of Diana:
Long live fair Oriana.
