Queen and Huntress - Mediaeval Baebes
Composed by:Mediaeval Baebes
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
Slow slow fresh fount keep time with my salt tears
Yet slower yet oh faintly gentle springs
List to the heavy part the music bears
Woe weeps out her division when she sings
Lay down thy bow of pearl apart
And thy crystal shining quiver
Give unto the flying hart
Space to breath how short so ever:
Thou that mak'st a day of night
Goddess excellently bright
Droop herbs and flowers
Fall grief in showers
Our beauties are not ours
Oh I could still
Like melting snow upon some craggy hill
Drop drop drop drop
Since nature's pride is still a withered daffodil
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 down thy bow of pearl apart
And thy crystal shining quiver
Give unto the flying hart
Space to breath how short so ever:
Thou that mak'st a day of night
Goddess excellently bright
