4. Incantations - Part 4 (Ode To Cyntia) (Text : Ben Jonson(1573-1637) based on 'Hymn to Diana')

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