I	A
To night retir'd the queen of heaven	B
With young Endymion stays	C
And now to Hesper is it given	B
Awhile to rule the vacant sky	A
Till she shall to her lamp supply	A
A stream of brighter rays	C
	-
II	A
O Hesper while the starry throng	D
With awe thy path surrounds	E
Oh listen to my suppliant song	D
If haply now the vocal sphere	F
Can suffer thy delighted ear	G
To stoop to mortal sounds	E
	-
III	A
So may the bridegroom's genial strain	H
Thee still invoke to shine	I
So may the bride's unmarried train	H
To Hymen chaunt their flattering vow	J
Still that his lucky torch may glow	K
With lustre pure as thine	I
	-
IV	J
Far other vows must i prefer	L
To thy indulgent power	L
Alass but now i paid my tear	M
On fair Olympia's virgin tomb	N
And lo from thence in quest i roam	O
Of Philomela's bower	L
	-
V	J
Propitious send thy golden ray	P
Thou purest light above	J
Let no false flame seduce to stray	P
Where gulph or steep lie hid for harm	Q
But lead where music's healing charm	Q
May sooth afflicted love	J
	-
VI	J
To them by many a grateful song	D
In happier seasons vow'd	R
These lawns Olympia's haunt belong	D
Oft by yon silver stream we walk'd	S
Or fix'd while Philomela talk'd	S
Beneath yon copses stood	T
	-
VII	J
Nor seldom where the beachen boughs	U
That roofless tower invade	V
We came while her inchanting Muse	W
The radiant moon above us held	X
Till by a clamorous owl compell'd	X
She fled the solemn shade	V
	-
VIII	J
But hark I hear her liquid tone	Y
Now Hesper guide my feet	Z
Down the red marle with moss o'ergrown	Y
Through yon wild thicket next the plain	Y
Whose hawthorns choke the winding lane	Y
Which leads to her retreat	Z
	-
IX	W
See the green space on either hand	A2
Inlarg'd it spreads around	B2
See in the midst she takes her stand	A2
Where one old oak his awful shade	V
Extends o'er half the level mead	C2
Inclos'd in woods profound	B2
	-
X	W
Hark how through many a melting note	D2
She now prolongs her lays	W
How sweetly down the void they float	D2
The breeze their magic path attends	W
The stars shine out the forest bends	W
The wakeful heifers gaze	W
	-
XI	W
Whoe'er thou art whom chance may bring	E2
To this sequester'd spot	F2
If then the plaintive Syren sing	E2
Oh softly tread beneath her bower	L
And think of heaven's disposing power	L
Of man's uncertain lot	F2
	-
XII	W
Oh think o'er all this mortal stage	G2
What mournful scenes arise	W
What ruin waits on kingly rage	G2
How often virtue dwells with woe	K
How many griefs from knowledge flow	K
How swiftly pleasure flies	W
	-
XIII	W
O sacred bird let me at eve	J
Thus wandering all alone	Y
Thy tender counsel oft receive	J
Bear witness to thy pensive airs	W
And pity nature's common cares	W
Till i forget my own	Y
