A description of the Morne.
Avrora
sending out his tresses faire,
Garnishd the earth with his resumed light,
Bedewed moist with her impearled haire,
Deposed horned Luna queen of night,
And all the twinckling stars which did appeare
By Phæbus iuory coach are put to flight,
Thus doth the Sun dethrone the watry Moone
As high estates the lower do put downe.
Garnishd the earth with his resumed light,
Bedewed moist with her impearled haire,
Deposed horned Luna queen of night,
And all the twinckling stars which did appeare
By Phæbus iuory coach are put to flight,
Thus doth the Sun dethrone the watry Moone
As high estates the lower do put downe.
Downe to the water doth the Moone descend,
There to repose till Sol had run his course,
Vp from the sea to earth doth Sol ascend
Seeming anew to renouate his force:
The Suns beginning giues the moone an end,
This leaueth worse for good, that good for worse.
This sends her lustre to th' Adriatique Seas,
That takes her place among th' Antipodes.
There to repose till Sol had run his course,

This sends her lustre to th' Adriatique Seas,
That takes her place among th' Antipodes.
The pitchy vale of silent night thus drawen,
When labor rubs his eies and shakes of sloth,
Being vnto the lower regions gone,
Aurora represents these louers both,
To a faire tree, broad branchd that fruit brings none
Yet makes a shew of fruit as others doth.
Which he awaking sees, applies the ends
Vnto himselfe, whom thus he reprehends.
