Liedtext |
Hard by a crystal fountain Bright Orian lay sleeping. The birds they finely chirped, The winds were stilled; Sweetly, with these accenting, the air was filled. This is that fair whose head a crown deserveth Which heaven for her reserveth. Leave, shepherds, your lambs keeping Upon the barren mountain, And nymphs, attend on her and Leave your bowers, For the shepherds' life maintains and yours. Then sang the shepherds and nymphs of Diana: Long live fair Oriana. |
