Omphale, nymph beloved by Hercules;
And Hero, “beauteous woman,” came from Thrace.
Besides all these, there came Historia forth:
Fair Ceres,[145] benefactress of the Earth:
Lubentia, cheerful goddess, draped her face,
And came with all her charms veil’d o’er with lace:
Fair Flora, graceful child, herself a flower,
Brought all the beauties from her fairy bower:
Pure Febrüa, who never once did feign
Her love to any, joined the mournful train.
