English text
Queen and Huntress, chaste and fair,
Now the sun is laid to sleep,
Seated on thy silver chair
State in wonted manner keep:
Hesperus entreats thy light Goddess,
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,
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 Goddess,
Goddess, excellently bright.
