i. Clorus.
Swanne which so sweetly sings,By Aska's Bancks, and pitifully plaines,
That old Meander neuer heard such Straines,
Eternall Fame, thou to thy Countrie brings:
And now our Calidon
Is by thy Songs made a new Helicon.
Her Mountaines, Woods, and Springs,
While Mountaines, Woods, Springs be, shall sound thy Praise,
And though fierce Boreas oft made pale her Bayes,
And kill those Mirtills with enraged Breath,
Which should thy Browes enwreath;
Her Floods haue Pearles, Seas Amber doe send foorth,
Her Heauen hath golden Starres to crowne thy Woorth.
