[XXI. When Oriana]

When Oriana walkt to take the aire

When Oriana walkt to take the aire, the world did striue, to entertaine so faire, By Flora faire, and sweetest flowers, by, &c. were strone, by, &c. sweetest flowers were strone, Along the way, along the way, for her to tread vpon, The trees did blossome, the siluer riuers ran, The winde did gently play vpon her fan, And then for to delight her Graces eare. The woods a Temple seem'd, the &c. the Birds a Quire. Then sang the shepherds and Nimphs of Diana, in heau'n liues Oriana. in: Oriana.
