The bodacious nymphs and gym-toned shepherds are partying on the cover of a CD from the Lawes brothers.
And perhaps, in a nearby glade, a minstrel is prompting them in their revels with William Lawes' Gather your rosebuds while you may.
It is this piece that opens thiscollection of what might loosely be called singer-songwriters of the Caroline period - men who may be early-music footnotes today, but who were the toast of Charles I's court in the early 1600s.
Henry was even praised by the stern Mr Milton for his "tuneful and well-measur'd song" that "first taught our English music how to span words with just note and accent".
The brothers were musical adventurers, creating a bridge between the lute-songs of Dowland and the latest styles from Italy.
While Henry's The Angler's Song is chummy singalong fare, others like A Tale out of Anacreon and Sweet, stay awhile are more freely expressive, with dramatic chord changes and shimmering ornamentation.
Henry dominates the collection, although brother William's Oh, let me lie and silent be is a cri de coeur, passionately delivered by countertenor Robin Blaze over Elizabeth Kenny's theorbo.
Kenny contributes the lively booklet essay and her response to the music is a vivid one, evoking images of sashaying French rhythms and moody, film noir atmospherics that are reflected in her playing.
Most of the singing is handled by Blaze and although some might take mild exception to the occasional flutter of vibrato, his liquid ornamentation and full-powered tone more than make amends.
Blaze has real authority. Listen to his Oh sweet woods, the delights of solitariness and you might find yourself, hamper in hand, off for a spot of solo camping.
Soprano Rebecca Outram and bass Robert Macdonald have less to do. Outram does the work of a good ensemble singer - no more, no less.
Macdonald has one of the loveliest songs in William's A Dreame: I laid me down upon a pillow soft, but, alas, he seems comfortable with neither its whimsy nor its low Gs.
