r Joy, He bleats his soft Pain to the fair curled Throng, And he leaps, and he bounds, and loves all the day long. At once Love's Courage and his Slavery In_ Taurus _is expressed, Though o'er the Plains the Conqueror be, The generous Beast Does to the Yoke submit his noble Breast; While_ Gemini _smiling and twining of Arms, Shews Love's soft Indearments and Charms; And_ Cancer's _slow Motion the degrees do express, Respectful Love arrives to Happiness_.

They come forth with all their Train, the Flutes playing a Symphony before them, which prepares the Song. Which ended the Dancers mingle as before_. A SONG. _All Joy to Mortals, Joy and Mirth, Eternal_ IO'S _sing; The Gods of Love descend to Earth, Their Darts have lost the Sting. The Youth shall now complain no more Of_ Sylvia's _needless Scorn, But she shall love, if he adore, And melt when he shall burn.
