24. Come gentle Swaines and shepherds.

  Come gentle swains and shepherds dainty daughters
Adorn' d with curtesie and comly duties.
Come sing and ioy and grace with louely laughters
The birth day of the beautist of beauties.
    Then sang the shepherds and nimphs of Diana
    Long liue faire Oriana.
