Of Diana,

The first with cloths tuckt vp as Nimphs in woods doe range, Tuckt vp euē to the knees, with bowes & arrowes prest Her right arme naked was, discouered was her brest: But heauy was her pace, & such a megre cheere, As little hunting mind (God knows) did there appeere. S. Phil. Sidney.

— Now great Phoebe in her tryumph came, With all the titles of her glorious name, Diana, Delia, Luna, Cynthia, Virago, Hecate, and Elythia, Prothyria, Dictinna, Proserpine, Latona, and Lucina most diuine. M. Drayton.
