uc o quietis apta Musis otia, Levesque Ludorum chori; Huc feriantum Phoebe Musarum pater, Huc hospitales Gratiae; Huc delicatis ite permisti Jocis Non inverecundi Sales: Hic otiosi mite Bracciani solum Vago coronemus pede. Appeare ye spritefull Quire with choicest sports, All pastime fit for _Phoebus_ Courts; And Thou great Master of the Revels, joyne The Graces, to thy Daughters nine; Witt pure and quaint, with rich conceits and free From all obscaene scurrilitie: Here free from care, nimbly let's dance a round Upon _Bracciano_'s softer ground. Clemens supino clivus assurgit jugo, Caelumq; paulatim subit, Et solida subter terga scopulorum arduo Securus insessu premit: Arcisq; jactat inter alta turrium Insigne propugnacula, Timenda quondam Caesarum turmis ducum, Timenda magno Borgiae, Cum per minantum militum aratos globos Metuenda jaceret fulmima, Ageretque profugum Caesarem, & quassum metu; Adusque promissum _Nihil_.

Hic ille magnus fraenat Etruscas opes _Ursinus_ Heroum decus, Haeres avitae laudis, & princeps caput Magnaeq; laus Oenotriae. Circum coruscis scena quercetis viret, Caelumque verrit frondibus, Suoque colles vestit, & patentibus Sese theatris explicat. Admota muris pone Nympharum domus Aprica praebet littora: Ripamque Baccho jungit, & vallum prope. Lentis flagellat fluctibus. Great _Ursin_ here puts reynes toth'_Tuscan_ pow're The grace of _Heroes_ and the flow're; Heire to his father's worth, chiefe guide and stay And praise of great _Oenotria_. A Bow're growes green, set round with trembling Okes Which fanns the Heavens with gentle strokes. It clothes the Hills, and spreads it selfe all over To th'open Thea
