with nets oft times he deceu'd Now by the mountaines high and forrests leauy to gather Stawberies and Damasens no smal delight did he count it But vvhy recite I to thee these sports thou these mery

temperate aire Causeth a dayly spring here blossoms dayly do flourish Hearbs are green which a lake chrystal stream by the forrest With myld-sliding waues doth nourish with liquid humor In midst of this groue the mild Creatresse of all things Hath by woondrous arte a stately pallace erected And from craggie rockes great seats hath wisely created God Sylnanus his haule it need no carued vpholders Nor stately pillers to vnderprop his gorgious hanging Nought but heauen ouerhangs Atlas himselfe doth vphold it Hither al the Gods hither al the progeny rurall In came each tooke a seat each ●ate by
