The air moved softly, for nature was breathing after the heat of the day. Presently, at a nod from Lorenzo, Politian struck his lute, and sang : " Fair is sweet Spring, and destitute of sorrow ; Yet, remember! Love-time flies away. Naught ye know of what may chance to-morrow . Youth and maiden, live and love to-day ! " " Look ! " whispered Alessandra, clutching Sandro's arm nervously. A face, grotesque, horned, hideous, was peering out from the trees of the orange grove. " Look ! " she whispere...d, for suddenly a bevy of nymphs, their white limbs gleaming through their gauze-like drapery, had glided silently from the thicket, and were fleeing in mock fear and tempting confusion from a company of satyrs. The thin, reedy notes of In the New Manner 191 pipes sounded from the grove, and the voices of unseen singers trilled an elfish melody : " These glad Satyrs, warm and wanton-eyed, Seek the witching Nymphs, their paramours, Chase them hotly through the forest glades. Weaving nets to catch their loves in bowers, Spreading snares to trap them in the groves, Capturing them at length amidst the flowers.
