Who thinks her to be glad at lovers' smart,

And worshipped by their pain and lying apart?

Nor is she, though she loves the fertile fields,

A clown, nor no love from her warm breast yields:

Be witness Crete (nor Crete doth all things feign)

Crete proud that Jove her nursery maintain.20

There, he who rules the world's star-spangled towers,

A little boy drunk teat-distilling showers.

Faith to the witness Jove's praise doth apply;

Ceres, I think, no known fault will deny.
