Original text and translations

English text

Three virgin nymphs were walking all alone,
Till rude Silvanus chanc'd to meet them;
Ravish'd with joy, he leapt, and snatch'd at one,
But missing her, thus rudely greets them:
Nymphs of the woods, come back again and kiss me!
Silvanus calls, come back again and bliss me!
