1 So on a day when satyrs all were gone 2 To do their service to Silvanus old, 3 The gentle virgin, left behind alone,

gentle > noble; gentle

4 He led away with courage stout and bold.

stout > brave

5 Too late it was, to satyrs to be told, 6 Or ever hope recover her again:

recover > [to recover]

7 In vain he seeks, that having cannot hold. 8 So fast he carried her with careful pains,

pain > anxiety; trouble (taken in accomplishing something)

9 That they the woods are past, and come now to the plain.
