  1. With robes the ground the goddess is to go.
  2. The virgins' locks with golden fillets bound,
  3. And sparkling diamonds glitt'ring all around;
  4. Buskins embroider'd on their feet they wear,
  5. And spreading trains with pride uneasy bear.
  6. Here, as in Greece the custom was of old,
  7. The image of the goddess we behold
  8. Borne on the heads of maidens, and behind
  9. The priestesses in beauteous rank you find.
