11Come, come thou glorious Object of my sight, Come, come thou glorious object of my sight;
22O my Joy, my life, my only delight! O my joy, my life, my delight,
33may this glad minute be blest to eternity. Let this encounter be,
44See how the glim'ring Tapers of the sky In spite of fortune free.
55do gaze and wonder at our constancy!
66how they crowd to behold See how the twinkling tapers of the sky
77what our Arms do enfold! Do wonder at our constancy;
88how all do envy our felicity, How they crowd to behold what our arms do enfold,
99and grudge the triumph of Selindras eyes! How all do envy our felicity.
1010how Cinthia seeks to shrowd
1111her crescent in yond cloud, Look, O look how the small lights do fall,
1212where sad night puts her sable mantle on, And adore what before
1313thy light mistaking, The heavens have not shown,
1414hasteth to be gone, Nor the first stars known:
1515her gloomy shades give way
1616as at th' approach of day, Such a faith, such a love,
1717and all the Planets shrink for fear As may move mighty Jove from above
1818to be ecclips'd by a brighter Deity. To descend and remain
1919 Among mortals again.
20Look, O look how the pale Lights do fall
21& adore what before the Heavens
22have not shown,
23not their God-head known,
24such a faith, such a love,
25as may move mighty Jove from above,
26to discend and remain among Mortals again.
