As Vesta was from Latmos hill descending, She spied a maiden Queen the same ascending, Attended on by all the shepherds' swain, To whom Diana's darlings came running down amain, First 2 by 2, then 3 by 3 together, Leaving their goddess all alone hasted thither;
And mingling with the shepherds of her train, With mirthful tunes her presence entertain.
