- And forest ranges ever green,
- And coppices by man unseen,
- And rivers resonant.
- Thou art Lucína, Juno hight
- By mothers lien in painful plight,
- Thou puissant Trivia and the Light
- Bastard, yclept the Lune.
- Thou goddess with thy monthly stage,
- The yearly march doth mete and guage
- An d rustic peasant's messuage,
- Dost brim with best o' crops,
- Be hailed by whatso name of grace,
- Please thee and olden Romulus' race,
- Thy wonted favour deign embrace,
