And them before, the fry of children young
2 Their wanton sports and childish mirth did play,
And to the Maydens sounding +tymbrels+ +sung+
4 In well attuned notes, a ioyous lay,
And made delightfull musicke all the way,
6 Vntill they came, where that faire virgin stood;
As faire Diana in fresh sommers +day,+
8 Beholdes her Nymphes, enraung'd in shadie wood,
Some wrestle, some do run, some bathe in christall flood.
