Shortly vnto the wastefull woods she came,
2 Whereas she found the Goddesse with her crew,
After late chace of their embrewed game,
4 Sitting beside a fountaine in a rew,
Some of them washing with the liquid dew
6 From off their dainty limbes the dustie sweat,
And soyle which did deforme their liuely hew;
8 Others lay shaded from the scorching heat;
The rest vpon her person gaue attendance great.
