SCENE VIII.
The Woods.
Prelude of Instrumental Musick.
Telemachus, Eucharis, and Nymphs enter as to the Chase.
Euch.
The spacious Woods are all around us;
There lies our Way.
Tel.
All I see and hear delights me.
Sure these are great Diana's Train,
And thou the Goddess.
Hark! the hollow Groves resounding
Eccho to the Hunter's Cry!
Hark how all the Vales surrounding
To his cheering Voice reply!
Now so swift o'er Hills aspiring,
He pursues the Gay Delight,
Distant Woods and Plains retiring
Seem to vanish from his sight.
Hark! the hollow Groves resounding
Eccho to the Hunter's Cry!
Hark how all the Vales surrounding
To his cheering Voice reply!
Euch.
See, see!—near yonder Brake
Behold the listning Deer!
Tel.
Lead on; and, like thy conqu'ring Eyes,
Unerring be thy Hand.
[Exeunt.
