_Clor_. Hold _Satyr_, take this Glass,
Sprinkle over all the place, Purge the Air from lustfull breath, To save this Shepherdess from death, And stand you still whilst I do dress Her wound for fear the pain encrease. _Sat_. From this glass I throw a drop Of Crystal water on the top Of every grass, on flowers a pair: Send a fume and keep the air Pure and wholsom, sweet and blest, Till this Virgins wound be drest. _Clor. Satyr_, help to bring her in. _Sat_. By _Pan_, I think she hath no sin, She is so light: lye on these leaves. Sleep that mortal sense deceives, Crown thine Eyes, and ease thy pain, Maist thou soon be well again. _Clor. Satyr_, bring the Shepherd near, Try him if his mind be clear. _Sat_. Shepherd come. _Daph_. My thoughts are pure. _Sat_. The better trial to endure. |
