And all the way their merry pipes they sound,

That all the woods with doubled Eccho ring,

And with their horned feet[°] do weare the ground,

Leaping like wanton kids in pleasant Spring.

So towards old Sylvanus they her bring;

Who with the noyse awaked commeth out

To weet the cause, his weake steps governing,

And aged limbs on Cypresse stadle stout;

And with an yvie twyne his wast is girt about.
