Song ended thus, their nimblest Youth and Art
All shew'd in Masquing Dance, for second part;
Loud Musick's Noise; as would perform thereby
Some Court-exploit for th' Ear and gazing Eye.
Orsamnes health then Marched stoutly round,
Triumphant way, to th' clearer Cornets sound.
Whist Hills and Rocks, like chanting Eccho's station,
Did Partners seem conjoyn'd for Celebration.
That drunk by all, one of their Masquing Train,
Great Friend to Shepherds, Sheep, with chearful Brain
These Words pronounc'd (Osamnes since dispos'd
That Life to leave) set Speech; their praise disclos'd.
