[The light-footed female that bounds o'er the hills]

The light-footed female that bounds o'er the hills,
That feeds among lilies, and drinks of the rills,
And is fam'd for being tender and true;
Which Solomon deemed a simile rare,
To liken the two pretty breasts of his fair,
Is the name of the nymph I pursue.
