Song to Pan

All ye woods, and trees, and bowers,
All ye virtues and ye powers
That inhabit in the lakes,
In the pleasant springs or brakes,
  Move your feet
  To our sound,
  Whilst we greet,
  All this ground,
With his honour and his name
That defends our flocks from blame.

He is great and he is just,
He is ever good, and must
Thus be honoured. Daffodillies,
Roses, pinks, and lovèd lilies,
  Let us fling,
  Whilst we sing,
  Ever holy,
  Ever holy,
Ever honoured, ever young!
Thus great Pan is ever sung.
