'Nymphs and Shepherds, come away....
In this grove let's sport and play....
For this is Flora's holiday....
Sacred to ease and happy love....
To music, to dancing and to poetry....
Your flocks may now securely rest....
While you express your jollity....
Nymphs and Shepherds come away....
Nymphs and Shepherds, pipe and play....
Tune a song, a festal lay....
For this is Flora's holiday....
Lightly we tread o'er all the ground....
with music, with dancing and with poetry....
Then trip we round with merry sound....
and pass the day in jollity....
Nymphs and Shepherds, come away.................................'
