Liedtext |
The nymphs and shepherds danced Lavoltos in a daisy-tap'stried valley. Love from their face-lamps glanced, Till wantonly they dally. Then in a rose-banked alley Bright Majesty advanced, A crown-graced virgin whom all people honour. They leave their sport amazed, Run all to look upon her. A moment scarce they gazed Ere beauty's splendour all their eyes had dazed, Desire to see yet ever fixed on her. Then sang the shepherds and nymphs of Diana: Long live fair Oriana. |
