To smile and grace our summer glades, To make the days grow long and still, And evenings cool with slumber fill. Proserpina, hail! Her we praise.

Excerpt from The Victory of Cupid

Scene 1. The forest.

(Enter Dryads and Satyrs dancing and singing.)

Proserpina, hail! her we praise,
In reverence a hymn we raise.
Let all the flowers rise to greet her,
And with songs come let us meet her.
See! she steps from Hades' shades
To smile and grace our summer glades.
To make the days grow long and still,
And evenings cool with slumber fill.
Proserpina, hail! her we praise,
In reverence a hymn we raise.

(Enter a Sad Satyr.)

First Dryad.
Hush, comrades, I pray you, who wanders here?

First Satyr.
It is my sad brother, half mortal I fear.

First Dryad.
He wanders forsaken and lonely indeed.

First Satyr.
Of a good frolic he's sadly in need.
