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 Soever: Thou That Mak'St A Day Of Night, Goddess Excellently Bright.
