 | The Grecian Story |  |
Four Water-Nymphs did then conjoyn'd appear
To th' other two, same Glist'ring Garb did wear;
Walk'd down the Stairs, in smooth and gliding measure,
Their parts discharg'd like Champaign Dance of pleasure.
Approach ye Tritons from the deep, prepare
(Kind partners too) by Dance your Joy declare.
Four Tritons then, black Curls, the steps desended,
Trumps wreathed shewn, whose artful Dance commended.
