Alexis.No, whilst light raigns, Lucasta stil rules here,
And all the night shines wholy in this sphere:
Lucasta.
I know no Morne but my Alexis Ray,
To my dark thoughts the breaking of the day.
Chorus.
Alexis.
So in each other if the pitying Sun
Thus keep us fixt; nere may his Course be run!
Lucasta.
And Oh! if Night us undivided make;
Let us sleepe still, and sleeping never wake!
The Close.
Cruell Adiev's may well adjourne awhileThe Sessions of a Looke, a Kisse, or Smile,
And leave behinde an angry grieving Blush;
But time nor Fate can part us joyned thus.
