Orval, or The Fool of Time | ||
“Cache pour cest nuict.”
Hide for a night thy horn, good Moon! Fair fortune
For this shall keep Endymion ever prest
Deep-dreaming amorous on thine argent breast,
Nor ever shall enchanter thee importune.
For this shall keep Endymion ever prest
Deep-dreaming amorous on thine argent breast,
Nor ever shall enchanter thee importune.

Hateful to me the day: most sweet the night!
I fear the myriad meddling eyes of day:
But courage comes with night. Close, close, I pray,
Your curtains, dear dark skies, on my delight!
I fear the myriad meddling eyes of day:
But courage comes with night. Close, close, I pray,
Your curtains, dear dark skies, on my delight!
Thou, too, thou Moon, thou too hast felt love's power!
Pan with a white fleece won thee for an hour.
And you, siderial signs in yonder blue,
Favour the fire whereby my heart is moved!
Forget not, signs, the greater part of you
Was only set in heaven for having loved.
Pan with a white fleece won thee for an hour.
And you, siderial signs in yonder blue,
Favour the fire whereby my heart is moved!
Forget not, signs, the greater part of you
Was only set in heaven for having loved.
