She spied a maiden queen the same
ascending,
Attended on by all the shepherd’s swain;
To whom Diana’s darlings came running
down amain.
First two by two, then three by three
together
Leaving their Goddess all alone, hasted
thither;
And mingling with the shepherds of her
train,
With mirthful tunes her presence did
entertain.
Then sang the shepherds and nymphs of
Diana:
Long live fair Oriana!!

Since Robin Hood, Maid Marian,And Little John are gone,The hobby horse was quite forgot,When Kemp did dance alone.He did labour after the tabor.For to dance then into France.He took pains to skip itIn hope of gains.He did trip it on the toe,Diddle diddle diddle doe.
Since Robin Hood, Maid Marian,And Little John are gone,The hobby horse was quite forgot,When Kemp did dance alone.He did labour after the tabor.For to dance then into France.He took pains to skip itIn hope of gains.He did trip it on the toe,Diddle diddle diddle doe.
