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
Hesperus entreats thy light
Goddess goddess goddess excellently bright
Earth let not thy envious shade
Dare itself to interpose
Cynthia's shining orb was made
Heav'n to clear when day did close：
Bless us then with wishèd sight
Bless us then with wishèd sight
Goddess goddess 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 mak'st a day of night
Thou that mak'st a day of night
Thou that mak'st night
Goddess goddess goddess goddess goddess excellently bright
