By this the pale fac'd Empresse of the night
Had resurrendred vp her borrowed light,
And to the lower world she now retires,
Attended with her traine of lesser fires,
And early Hesper shoots his golden head,
To vsher Titan from his purple bed.
The gray ey'd Ianitor does not begin
To ope his Easterne portals, and let in
The new borne Day; who hauing lately hurld
The shades of night into the lower world,
The dewy cheek'd Aurora does vnfold
Her purple Curtaines, all befring'd with gold;
And from the pillow of his Crocian bed,
Don Phœbus rouzes his refulgent head;
That with his all discerning eye suruayes,
And gilds the mountaines with his morning rayes.
