| Soon as the Evening Shades prevail | E |
| The Moon takes up the wondrous Tale | E |
| And nightly to the list'ning Earth | F |
| Repeats the Story of her Birth | F |
| Whilst all the Stars that round her burn | G |
| And all the Planets in their turn | G |
| Confirm the Tidings as they rowl | E |
| And spread the Truth from Pole to Pole | E |
| What though in solemn Silence all | E |
| Move round the dark terrestrial Ball | E |
| What tho' nor real Voice nor Sound | H |
| Amid their radiant Orbs be found | H |

| In Reason's Ear they all rejoice | I |
| And utter forth a glorious Voice | I |
| For ever singing as they shine | J |
| The Hand that made us is Divine | J |
