Come, my Daphne, come away, we do waste the cristal day.
Daphne.
'Tis Strephon calls, what would my Love?
Strephon.
Come follow to the Mirtle Grove, where Venus shal prepare new chaplets for thy hair.
Daphne.

Strephon.

Daphne.

Strephon.
In thy bosome then I'le stray, in such warm snow, who would not lose his way?
Chorus.
