II. SONG.

'ER the fmooth enamel'd green,
Where no print of step hath been,
Follow me as I fing,

And touch the warbled ftring,

Under the fhady roof

Of branching elm ftar-proof.

Follow me,

I will bring you where the fits,
Clad in fplendor as befits
Her deity.

Such a rural Queen

All Arcadia hath not feen.

III. SONG.

III. S o N G.

Ymphs and Shepherds dance no more
By fandy Ladon's lillied banks,

On old Lycæus or Cyllene hoar

Trip no more in twilight ranks, Though Erymanth your lofs deplore,

A better foil fhall give ye thanks.

From the ftony Mænalus

Bring your flocks, and live with us,

Here ye fhall have greater grace,

To ferve the Lady of this place.

Though Syrinx your Pan's mistress were,

Yet Syrinx well might wait on her.

Such a rural Queen

All Arcadia hath not feen.
