Fair nymphs, I heard one telling,
to beautify the place,
The fawns are running,
The shepherds their pipes tuning
To show their cunning.


Fair nymphs, I heard one telling,<br>
The lambs amazed leave off their grazing
to beautify the place,<br>
And blind their eyes with gazing,
The fawns are running,<br>
Attended by the Muses and the Graces.
The shepherds their pipes tuning,<br>
 
To show their cunning.<br>
Then sang the shepherds and nymphs of Diana
The lambs amazed leave off their grazing,<br>
Long live fair Oriana.}}
And blind their eyes with gazing,<br>
Attended by the Muses and the Graces.<br><br>
Then sang the shepherds and nymphs of Diana <br>
Long live fair Oriana.

Fair nymphs, I heard one telling,
to beautify the place,
The fawns are running,
The shepherds their pipes tuning
To show their cunning.

The lambs amazed leave off their grazing
And blind their eyes with gazing,
Attended by the Muses and the Graces.

Then sang the shepherds and nymphs of Diana
Long live fair Oriana.
