Ben Jonson - Queen and HuntressBen Jonson - Queen and Huntress
Work rating: Low


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 thy bow of pearl apart   And thy crystal-shining quiver;   Give unto the flying hart   Space to breathe, how short soever:       Thou that mak`st a day of night,       Goddess excellently bright.
