And I her shepheard's swain,

Albe forswonk and forswat I am.

"I see Calliope speed her to the place,

Where my goddess shines;

And after her the other Muses trace,

With their violins.

Be they not bay-branches which they do bear,

All for Elisa in her hand to wear?

So sweetly they play,

And sing all the way,
