[Hur.]Bright sun had in his ruddy robes been dight,
From the red East he flitted with his train,
The hoürs drew away the robe of night,
Her sable tapestry was rent in twain.
The dancing streaks bedeckèd heaven's plain,
And on the dew did smile with shimmering eye,
Like drops of blood which do black armour stain,
Shining upon the borne which standeth by.
The soldiers stood upon the hillès side,
Like young enleafèd trees which in a forest bide.
