Where was their dwelling, in a pleasant glade,

With mountaines round about enuironed,

Spreading it selfe into a spatious plaine.

And in the midst a little riuer plaide

Emongst the pumy stones, which seemd to plaine

With gentle murmure, that his[983] course they did restraine.

Planted with mirtle trees and laurels greene,
