[D]Iana's a Nymph so chast and so fair That Venus her self may not with her compare, [?] Venus her self she hath had the great praise, [?] same it is altered and chang'd now a days, [Then] ever hereafter all honor and fame, [Shall be] render'd be render'd to Diana's great Name. [Dian]a's a Nymph so happy and free [The]re's none so delightful and pleasant as she, [? b]eauty excelling the rest of her Sex, [?]ch she knows in her mind they do daily perplex [Then] ever hereafter all honour and fame, [Shall] be render'd be render'd to Diana's great Name. [Dian]a has breasts, Diana has eyes [Wou]ld summon the surlist of stoicks to rise; [?] seeing her face hee'd be cinnick no more, [?] leave his close Cell and straight fall to adore, [Then] ever hereafter all honour and fame, [Shall be] render'd be render'd to Diana's great Name.
Diana's soft touch with her delicate hand, Would make the morosest of Hermits to stand Amazed to feel what an amorous rage, Her grasp would infuse into wrinked old age, Then ever hereafter all honour and fame Shall be render'd be render'd to Diana's great Name. A cripple that halts, and never had gone, In time out of mind from his smoky old home, Would slight his old pain and his Crutches despise And father his cure on Diana's bright eyes, Then ever hereafter all honour and fame, Shall be render'd be render'd to Diana's great Name. In Diana when ere she resolves to be kind Such wraptures of pleasure her Lover may find, As deny him the leisure to weigh the blest fate, Or think there is any such Heav'n as that. Then ever hereafter all honour and fame, Shall be render'd be render'd to Diana's great Name.
Both Silvia and Juno and Celia appear Like dowdies deform'd when Diana draws near, Her beams like the Suns in the firmament shine, They scarce look like Mortals whilst she seems divine Then ever hereafter all honour and fame. Shall be render'd be render'd to Diana's great name. Diana one Morn I saw in a Grove, And told her in short of my passionate love, At first with a frown she my Language did hear, But still I proceeded with pleasure and fear. Then ever hereafter all honour and fame, Shall be render'd be render'd to Diana's great name. I sang it so loud Diana did smile, And I feasted my soul on her beauties the while Ah fair one forbear to be cruel said I, And save you poor Hilas thats going to dye. Then ever hereafter all honour and fame. Shall be render'd be render'd to Diana's great name. The Beauty stood mute whilst I lean'd on her breast, Where thrusting my hand somewhat lower I prest Ah Diana said I, might I chose the great bliss, To be found in the World I should think it were this. Then ever here after all honour and fame, Shall be render'd be render'd to Diana's great name.
She blusht all the while my stragling hand, Was plung'd heart in her bosom & then command That I the sweet pleasure should that time forbear, Because we beheld a young shepherd draw near. Then ever hereafter all honour and fame, Shall be render'd be rende'rd to Diana's great name. With that we went both to a Neigh'bring shade, Which Nature on purpose for Lovers had made, Where th' amorous Trees did so kindly combine, That nought but Diana's bright beauty could shine. Then ever hereafter all honour and fame, Shall be render'd be render'd to Diana's great name. I prest her again to grant the sweet bliss, She smil'd and her heavenly answer was this, The care longs to you; my dear Hilas to you, That yo do not a harmless young Virgin undo. Then ever hereafter all honour and fame, Shall be render'd be render'd to Diana's great name With that in the dark more pleasing then light, We fell to such soft & amazing Delight That the Gods tho much better they be In vain did oft wish tho to be happy as we. Then ever hereafter all honour and fame. Shall be render'd be render'd to Diana's great name
