Queen and huntress chaste and fair

Now the sun is laid to sleep

Seated in a silver chair

State in wanted manner keep



Earth let not an envious shade

Dare itself to interpose

Cynthia's shining orb was made

Heaven to cheer when day did close



Lay the bow of pearl apart

And the crystal-shining quiver

Give unto the flying heart

Space to breath how short so ever



Hesperus entreaty thy light

Goddess excellently bright

Bless us then with wished sight

Thou who makes a day of night
