"Today Flora is going through the countryside; | Come, sacred Pan, to do her honor, | What else so beautiful have you not seen yet. | Nor do you take this into disdain or pain, | Vaga Syringa, who gives her the pride The nine Muses, the three Graces, and the Hours. But you, horned God, if you aim a little | I stare at her, to new wonder | Your bagpipe will fall away. (from Elegy – Flora in the countryside, p. 4)"
