rrum,
Has, age flecte domos.
Ad tua decidu fugiunt vestigia nimbi,
Turbidus imber abiit:
Ipsa sub innocuis mitescunt fulmina plantis,
Ipsa virescit hiems.
Do I mistake? or from Elyzium cleare
My life's call doe I heare?
Sister arise, and harnesse thy sweet paire
Of Doves, thy selfe more faire;
Mount and drive hither, here let thy Chariot stop,
From _Libanus_ hye top;
At thy approach the falling showres doe fly,
Tempestuous stormes passe by,
The lightning's quench'd under thy harmlesse feet,
Winter turnes Spring to see't.
Interea sacris aperit se scena viretis
Sub pedibusq; tibi
Altera floret humus, alterq; vagantia laetus
Sidera pascit ager.
Hic etiam trepidi pendent e rupibus haedi,
Praecipitesq; caprae;
Hinnuleique suis, passim dum flumina tranant,
Luxuriantur aquis.
While in the sacred Green, a bow're we see
Doth spread it selfe for thee.
The Earth new Turff's it selfe for thee to tread,
The straying starrs fresh fields make glad.
Here with their dams, of Kids th'amazed flocks
Hang on steep sides of Rocks;
Here as they swim, the wanton Hinds do play
In the coole streames all day.
It Leo cum Pardo viridis de colle Saniri
Mitis uterque regi,
Cumque suo passim ludunt in montibus agno
Exsuperantque juga.
Plurimus hos circum tacito pede labitur amnis,
Pumicibusque cavis
Per violas lapsae per declives hyacinthos,
Exspatiantur aquae.
The Lion with the Libard downe is l'ed
Tame and well governed;
Each with his Lamb about the Mountaines skip,
O're Hills they lightly trip.
By these a spacious brooke doth slowly glide,
Which with a spreading tyde
Through bending Lilyes, banks of Violets
From th'hollow Pumice sweats.
Lene fluunt rivi, muscosis lene susurrus
Murmurat e scopulis.
In vitrio pisces saliunt hilares crystallo,
Dulce queruntur aves.
Nec vero, si moesta placent saletia caelo
Flebile murmur abest:
Nam sibi dum vestro regemunt ex orbe palumbes,
Huc sonus ille venit.
Sic dum se viduo solatur Carmine turtur,
Gaudia nostra placent.
The rivers gently flow, and a still sound
From mossie Rocks doth bound.
The sporting fish dance in the christ
