A NYMPH the fairest ever shin'd in Courts,
NORFOLK the Generous, Gay, and Great,
To whom each Muse officiously resorts,
And with their Songs their Patron Mistress Greet,
To make the illustrious Train compleat;
The Sacred Robe supports.
Aided by young Diana's all as fair
As the coy Maid the amorous GOD pursu'd,
As Chast as she, as unsubdu'd;
Unsoyl'd even by the wanton wisp'ring Air.
No guilty though had ever spread
Their lovely Virgin Cheeks with Red,
No Lovers Sighs had blown the blushes there,
For all their Roses in the Bud appear.
