DIANA

My temple stands in Ephesus,

Hie the thither,

And do upon my altar sacrifice.

There, when my maiden priests

Are met together,

Before the people all

Reveal how thou at sea didst lose thy wife.

To mourn her, with thy daughter, call

And give her repetition to the life

Perform my bidding, or thou livest in woe.

Do it, and be happy by my silver bow.
