gentle_o as_o you_o may_v easy_o see_v all_o the_o fish_n which_o be_v at_o the_o bottom_n of_o these_o water_n which_o be_v as_o clear_a as_o peaceable_a some_o of_o they_o swim_v with_o precipitation_n to_o seek_v their_o food_n other_o elevate_v themselves_o above_o the_o water_n whilst_o some_o of_o the_o more_o fearful_a go_v to_o hide_v themselves_o at_o the_o least_o noise_n that_o they_o understand_v but_o if_o from_o the_o bottom_n of_o this_o crystal_n you_o will_v consider_v the_o surface_n you_o shall_v see_v it_o all_o cover_v with_o swan_n you_o may_v admire_v shepherd_n the_o whiteness_n of_o their_o plumage_n the_o gravity_n that_o they_o observe_v in_o swim_v and_o the_o noble_a pride_n which_o appear_v in_o their_o eye_n say_v they_o not_o that_o they_o despise_v all_o those_o who_o behold_v '_o they_o and_o say_v they_o not_o also_o that_o they_o have_v hover_v in_o which_o they_o have_v a_o design_n to_o please_v when_o they_o make_v sail_n of_o their_o wing_n to_o divert_v they_o and_o that_o they_o swim_v not_o but_o to_o be_v admire_v ah_o sheph●●d_o how_o far_o be_v the_o inhabitant_n of_o rome_n from_o these_o innocent_a pleasure_n their_o tumultuous_a life_n rob_v they_o of_o these_o delicacy_n i_o be_o not_o yet_o at_o the_o end_n of_o the_o description_n of_o the_o place_n where_o we_o inhabit_v i_o must_v therefore_o conduct_v you_o upon_o one_o of_o these_o high_a mountain_n from_o whence_o you_o may_v discover_v at_o once_o river_n forest_n plain_n and_o pasturage_n whereof_o the_o view_n be_v so_o boundless_a as_o if_o the_o object_n seem_v to_o efface_v and_o shut_v up_o themselves_o and_o as_o if_o the_o sky_n touch_v the_o far_a part_n of_o the_o earth_n you_o descry_v but_o perhaps_o you_o love_v not_o a_o prospect_n so_o extensive_a suffer_v then_o that_o i_o bring_v you_o to_o some_o of_o our_o little_a hill_n or_o into_o some_o of_o our_o valley_n to_o the_o end_n to_o make_v you_o avow_v that_o their_o abundance_n ought_v to_o be_v prefer_v to_o the_o sterility_n of_o the_o seven_o hill_n of_o rome_n these_o little_a corner_n of_o the_o earth_n be_v so_o much_o favour_v of_o heaven_n that_o they_o seem_v to_o be_v entire_o cover_v from_o all_o the_o injury_n of_o the_o air_n the_o wind_n seldom_o blow_n the_o hail_n spoil_v not_o the_o grape_n the_o verdure_n be_v eternal_a there_o and_o i_o think_v what_o they_o cultivate_v not_o the_o sun_n only_o do_v it_o and_o make_v they_o grow_v and_o ripen_v and_o do_v all_o that_o which_o agriculture_n produce_v elsewhere_o with_o so_o much_o care_n and_o pain_n and_o not_o to_o forget_v that_o which_o show_v the_o liberality_n of_o our_o shepherd_n and_o that_o which_o be_v the_o innocent_a love_n of_o our_o shepherdess_n can_v you_o

prodigious_a quantity_n of_o flower_n wherewith_o our_o garden_n be_v replenish_v be_v it_o for_o their_o form_n for_o their_o lovely_a shine_a colour_n or_o for_o that_o please_a variety_n that_o

you_o into_o the_o next_o grove_n it_o be_v there_o where_o you_o shall_v find_v that_o which_o one_o can_v never_o find_v at_o rome_n it_o be_v there_o where_o you_o shall_v understand_v what_o

continue_v have_v conduct_v their_o flock_n to_o graze_v in_o the_o shadow_n under_o the_o thick_a part_n of_o the_o grove_n and_o admire_v the_o good_a mien_n of_o the_o one_o and_o the_o beauty_n of_o the_o other_o though_o this_o be_v not_o yet_o the_o place_n where_o i_o ought_v to_o speak_v of_o it_o and_o hear_v only_o that_o which_o they_o hear_v i_o will_v say_v this_o great_a quantity_n of_o bird_n who_o by_o their_o different_a note_n make_v such_o a_o agreeable_a consort_n they_o say_v to_o those_o that_o understand_v their_o song_n that_o they_o dispute_v among_o themselves_o who_o shall_v carry_v the_o prize_n of_o the_o victory_n but_o above_o the_o rest_n admire_v this_o know_a master_n of_o music_n who_o by_o the_o least_o of_o his_o song_n surmount_v all_o other_o the_o rest_n have_v a_o sense_n of_o their_o feebleness_n and_o they_o refrain_v by_o impuissance_n or_o by_o respect_n and_o the_o nightingale_n be_v those_o only_o which_o come_v with_o equal_a

in_o he_o who_o find_v himself_o to_o have_v the_o advantage_n and_o the_o dolour_n and_o the_o anger_n of_o it_o in_o he_o who_o feel_v his_o force_n diminish_v behold_v shepherd_n when_o he_o can_v no_o more_o his_o passage_n be_v no_o less_o just_a though_o they_o be_v more_o frequent_a the_o sweetness_n of_o his_o voice_n change_v itself_o and_o he_o sing_v no_o more_o but_o by_o despair_n i_o
