From Eclogue ix

Rowland. Of her pure eyes (that now is seen) Chorus. Help vs to sing that be her faithful swains Row: O she alone the shepheards Queen, Cho: Her Flocke that leades, The goddesse of these medes, These mountaines and these plaines. Row: Those eyes of hers that are more cleere, Cho: Then silly shepheards can in song expresse, Row: Then be his beams that rule the yeare, Cho: Fy on that prayse, In striuing things to rayse: That doth but make them lesse. Row: That doe the flowery spring prolong, Cho: So much the earth doth in her presence ioy, Row: And keeps the plenteous summer young: Cho: And doth asswage The wrathfull winters rage That would our flocks destroy. Row: Ioue saw her brest that naked lay, Cho: A sight alone was fit for Ioue to see: Row: And swore it was the milkie way, Cho: Of all most pure, The path (we vs assure) Vnto Ioues court to be. Row: He saw her tresses hanging downe. Cho: That too and fro were mooued with the ayre, Row: And sayd that Ariadnes crowne, Cho: With those compar'd: The gods should not regard Nor Berenices hayre. Row: When she hath watch'd my flockes by night, Cho: O happie were the flockes that she did keepe: Row: They neuer needed Cynthia's light, Cho: That soone gaue place, Amazed with her grace, That did attend thy sheepe. Row: Aboue where heauens hie glories are, Cho: When as she shall be placed in the skies, Row: She shall be calld the shepheards starre, Cho: And euermore, We shepheards will adore, Her setting and her rise.
