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

By the rushy-fringed bank, 890

Where grow 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,
