Sabrina rises, attended by water-nymphs, and sings.

By the rushy-fringèd bank, 890

Where grows the willow and the osier dank,

My sliding chariot stays,

Thick set with agate, and the azurn sheen

Of turkis blue, and emerald green,

That in the channel strays; 895

Whilst, from off the waters fleet,

Thus I set my printless feet

O'er the cowslip's velvet head,
