honoured. Daffadillies,
Roses, pinks, and lovèed lilies,
Let us fling,
Whilst we sing,
Ever holy,
Ever holy,
Ever
honoured, ever young!
Thus great Pan is ever sung! [Exeunt all except Clorin and Satyr.
Sat. Thou divinest, fairest, brightest,
Thou most powerful maid and whitest,
Thou most virtuous and most
blessèed,
Eyes of stars, and golden-tressèed
Like Apollo; tell me, sweetest,
What new service now is meetest
For
the Satyr? Shall I stray
In the middle air, and stay
The sailing rack, or nimbly take
Hold by the moon, and
gently make
Suit to the pale queen of night
For a beam to give thee light?
Shall I dive into the sea,
And
bring thee coral, making way
Through the rising waves that fall
In snowy fleeces? Dearest, shall
I catch
thee wanton fawns, or flies
Whose woven wings the summer dyes
Of many colours? get thee fruit,
Or
steal from Heaven old Orpheus lute?
All these Ill venture for, and more,
To do her service all these woods
adore.
Clo. No other service, Satyr, but thy watch
About these thicks, lest harmless people catch
Mischief or sad
mischance.
Sat. Holy virgin, I will dance
Round about these woods as quick
As the breaking light, and prick
Down the
lawns and down the vales
Faster than the windmill-sails.
So I take my leave, and pray
All the comforts of
the day,
Such as Phbus heat doth send
On the earth, may still befriend
Thee and this arbour!
Clo. And to thee
All my masters love be free!
[Exeunt.
