A Song to Lucifer.
Why dost thou thus delay,
O Lucifer, to usher in the day?
Sluggard, I know thy fear;
Thou know'st my Clelia will then appear,
Whose blest and heavenly sight
VVill doom thy Light unto Eternal Night.
O Lucifer, to usher in the day?
Sluggard, I know thy fear;
Thou know'st my Clelia will then appear,
Whose blest and heavenly sight
VVill doom thy Light unto Eternal Night.
Nor shall we need the Sun,
Bid him unto the lower VVorld return,
And with his Beams of light
Expel from the Abyss the Queen of Night;
For from my Clelias Eyes
Proceed such Rayes as doth all Light surprize.
Bid him unto the lower VVorld return,
And with his Beams of light
Expel from the Abyss the Queen of Night;
For from my Clelias Eyes
Proceed such Rayes as doth all Light surprize.

Nor shall we need the Powers
Of Moon, or Stars, or Hail, or Snow, or Showers;
For whilst on Earth she stays,
With her more glorious and refulgent Rayes,
Proceeding from her Eyes,
Gives Birth to all, and Natures course supplies.
Of Moon, or Stars, or Hail, or Snow, or Showers;
For whilst on Earth she stays,
With her more glorious and refulgent Rayes,
Proceeding from her Eyes,
Gives Birth to all, and Natures course supplies.
But when she please to fly
From Earth to Heaven, and be enthron'd on high,
And there look down on Men,
The Golden Age shall Visit Earth agen;
And all the World shall be
Blest with its Primitive Fecundity.
From Earth to Heaven, and be enthron'd on high,
And there look down on Men,
The Golden Age shall Visit Earth agen;
And all the World shall be
Blest with its Primitive Fecundity.
