SCENE X.
Diana descends, Pan, Nymphs, Sylvans, and Chorus.Diana.
Presumptuous God! am I so little fear'd,
That thou so boldly dar'st my Anger move?
Know'st thou not, Cynthia could sollicit Jove,
And from Olympus draw down sure Revenge?
Pan.
I own thy Pow'r, Celestial Maid!
And dread the Tempest of thy Rage.

Then to prevent the threat'ned Storm,
Thy rash Offence deplore,
And strictly thy licentious Sylvans rule:
So shall Diana be again thy Friend,
Forget thy Wrongs, and Syrinx' Loss forgive.
Pan.
O mighty Goddess! to thy Will I bend,
Confess my Guilt, and will my Sylvans rule.
And now that she forgives,
You Nymphs and Sylvans, great Diana praise,
Renew your Sports, and follow in the Chace.
Chorus.
Great Diana whilst we sing,
Let the Plains with Ecchoes ring,
Let the Plains with Ecchoes ring,
Whilst we pay the Honours due,
And the sprightly Chace renew.
And the sprightly Chace renew.
Great Diana whilst we sing,
Let the Plains with Ecchoes ring.
Let the Plains with Ecchoes ring.
[While the Chorus sings, the Nymphs and Sylvans dance, and Diana ascends.]
FINIS.
