A siluer-bright new Moone shee weares for dyademe,
Wherevnder to her foot shines downe with golden beame
A firie blazing starre; two pyrops are her eyes,
Or flaming Carbuncles; her gowne is like the skies,
Blew damaske, all with stars and pictures beautifide,
And with two golden claspes on either shoulder ty'de:
And for her plume or fan shee beares the traine and wings
Of bird whom nature deckt with shining studs and rings.
