Along the streamlet sings the snowy Swan, percht on her spraylet answereth Philomel:

Startled Actaeon stands no more to scan his horny forehead where the waters well;

Here the fast lev’ret flies the hunter-man from densest thicket, or the shy gazelle:

There hurrying homewards to her darling brood the light-wing’d Birdie bears the grateful food.
