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