Odes In Imitation of the Seaven Penitential Psalmes | ||
Pulchra vt Luna.
When Phebus fyrie steedes, in compassing the ground,Leaue night behynde their backs, til they againe returne,
Then that there should some light, in darcknes yet be found,
Faire Phebe staies behynde, supplying Phebus turne:
Where shee through borrowed light, in beauty doth abound,
And cheers therewith the earth, that might in darcknes mourne,
So thy faire influence, faire Cynthia vs extend,
Which thy most bounteous sonne, doth thee most freely lend.
