<poem>
As Vesta was from Latmos hill descending,
She spied a maiden Queen the same ascending,
Attended on by all the shepherds' swain,
To whom Diana's darlings came running down amain,
First two by two, then three by three together,
Leaving their goddess all alone hasted thither;
And mingling with the shepherds of her train,
With mirthful tunes her presence entertain.


As Vesta was from Latmos hill descending,<br>
Then sang the shepherds and nymphs of Diana,
she spied a maiden Queen the same ascending,<br>
Long live fair Oriana!
Attended on by all the shepherds' swain,<br>

Leaving their goddess all alone hasted thither;<br>
And mingling with the shepherds of her train,<br>
with mirthful tunes her presence entertain.<br>
 
Then sang the shepherds and nymphs of Diana,<br>
Long live fair Oriana!<br>

As Vesta was from Latmos hill descending,
She spied a maiden Queen the same ascending,
Attended on by all the shepherds' swain,
To whom Diana's darlings came running down amain,
First two by two, then three by three together,
Leaving their goddess all alone hasted thither;
And mingling with the shepherds of her train,
With mirthful tunes her presence entertain.

Then sang the shepherds and nymphs of Diana,
Long live fair Oriana!
