_Florimel._ Y'are much mistaken _Lelipa_, 'twas I, Of all the Nimphes, that first did her descry, At our great Hunting, when as in the Chase Amongst the rest, me thought I saw one face So exceeding faire, and curious, yet vnknowne That I that face not possibly could owne. And in the course, so Goddesse like a gate, Each step so full of maiesty and state; 20 That with my selfe, I thus resolu'd that she Lesse then a Goddesse (surely) could not be: Thus as _Idalia_, stedfastly I ey'd, A little Nimphe that kept close by her side I noted, as vnknowne as was the other, Which _Cupid_ was disguis'd so by his mother. The little purblinde Rogue, if you had seene, You would haue thought he verily had beene One of _Diana's_ Votaries so clad, He euery thing so like a Huntresse had: 30 And she had put false eyes into his head, That very well he might vs all haue sped. And still they kept together in the Reare, But as the Boy should haue shot at the Deare, He shot amongst the Nimphes, which when I saw, Closer vp to them I began to draw; And fell to hearken, when they naught suspecting, Because I seem'd them vtterly neglecting, I heard her say, my little _Cupid_ too't, Now Boy or neuer, at the Beuie shoot, 40 Haue at them _Venus_ quoth the Boy anon, I'le pierce the proud'st, had she a heart of stone: With that I cryde out, Treason, Treason, when The Nimphes that were before, turning agen To vnderstand the meaning of this cry, They out of sight were vanish't presently. Thus but for me, the Mother and the Sonne, Here in Elizium, had vs all vndone.
