[Vesper, belov'd Cythera's golden light]

Vesper , belov'd Cythera's golden light;
Vesper, the sacred joy of Azure Night;
Thou other Stars out-shin'st, as Cynthia Thee;
Hail dearly welcome! come along with me,
And with thy light our past'ral sports befriend;
The Moon scarce up went down; I not intend
To rob; no Travellours shall of me complain;
I love and lovers should be lov'd again.
