Queen and huntress, chaste and fair, Now the sun is laid to sleep, Seated in thy silver chair, State in wonted manner keep: Hesperus entreats thy light, Goddess excellently bright. Earth, let not thy envious shade Dare itself to interpose; Cynthia’s shining orb was made Heaven to clear, when day did close: Bless us then with wished sight, Goddess excellently bright! Lay thy bow of pearl apart, And thy crystal-shining quiver; Give unto the flying hart Space to breathe how short so-ever: Thou that makest a day of night, Goddess excellently bright!
