And Dian’s chastity, that hunts unseen

What time with spring the woodland boughs are green:

And there was Pan with mirth and pleasantness,

And Eros’ self that never knew distress

Save for the love of the fair Cretan maid;

There Hermes with the wings of speed arrayed,

And awful Zeus, the king of gods and men,

And ever at his feet Apollo sang

A measure of changing harmonies that rang

From that high mountain over all the world,
