[Horns, or hunting-music, within.]

Enter Diana.

Dia. With horns and with hounds, I waken the day,

And hie to the woodland-walks away;

I tuck up my robe, and am buskined soon,

And tie to my forehead a wexing moon.

I course the fleet stag, unkennel the fox,

And chace the wild goats o'er summits of rocks;

With shouting and hooting we pierce through the sky,

And Echo turns hunter, and doubles the cry.
