ing come into the place where they Yearely obserue the Orgies to that day, The Muses from their Heliconian spring Their brimfull Mazers to the feasting bring: When with deepe Draughts out of those plenteous Bowles, The iocond Youth haue swild their thirsty soules, They fall enraged with a sacred heat, And when their braines doe once begin to sweat 20 They into braue and Stately numbers breake, And not a word that any one doth speake But tis Prophetick, and so strangely farre In their high fury they transported are, As there's not one, on any thing can straine, But by another answred is againe In the same Rapture, which all sit to heare; When as two Youths that soundly liquord were, _Dorilus_ and _Doron_, two as noble swayns As euer kept on the Elizian playns, 30 First by their signes attention hauing woonne, Thus they the Reuels frolikly begunne.
