Queen and huntress chaste and fair   Now the sun is laid to sleep   Seated in a silver chair   State in wonted manner keep      Earth let not an envious shade   Dare itself to inter pose   Cynthia's shining orb was made   Heav'n to cheer when day did close      Lay the bow of pearl apart   And the crystal shining quiver   Give un to the flying hart   Space to breathe how short so ever      Hesper us entreats thy light   Goddess excellently bright   Bless us then with wished sight   Thou who makes a day of night      (ben jonson. vocals: maddy prior)
