To night retir'd the queen of heaven	A
With young Endymion stays	B
And now to Hesper is it given	A
Awhile to rule the vacant sky	C
Till she shall to her lamp supply	C
A stream of brighter rays	B
	-
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
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
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
	-
Propitious send thy golden ray	P
Thou purest light above	Q
Let no false flame seduce to stray	P
Where gulph or steep lie hid for harm	R
But lead where music's healing charm	R
May sooth afflicted love	Q
To them by many a grateful song	D
In happier seasons vow'd	S
These lawns Olympia's haunt belong	D
Oft by yon silver stream we walk'd	T
Or fix'd while Philomela talk'd	T
Beneath yon copses stood	U
Nor seldom where the beachen boughs	V
That roofless tower invade	W
We came while her inchanting Muse	X
The radiant moon above us held	Y
Till by a clamorous owl compell'd	Y
She fled the solemn shade	W
	-
But hark I hear her liquid tone	Z
Now Hesper guide my feet	A2
Down the red marle with moss o'ergrown	Z
Through yon wild thicket next the plain	Z
Whose hawthorns choke the winding lane	Z
Which leads to her retreat	A2
See the green space on either hand	B2
Inlarg'd it spreads around	C2
See in the midst she takes her stand	B2
Where one old oak his awful shade	W
Extends o'er half the level mead	D2
Inclos'd in woods profound	C2
Hark how through many a melting note	E2
She now prolongs her lays	B
How sweetly down the void they float	E2
The breeze their magic path attends	F2
The stars shine out the forest bends	F2
The wakeful heifers gaze	B
	-
Whoe'er thou art whom chance may bring	G2
To this sequester'd spot	H2
If then the plaintive Syren sing	G2
Oh softly tread beneath her bower	L
And think of heaven's disposing power	L
Of man's uncertain lot	H2
Oh think o'er all this mortal stage	I2
What mournful scenes arise	J2
What ruin waits on kingly rage	I2
How often virtue dwells with woe	K
How many griefs from knowledge flow	K
How swiftly pleasure flies	J2
O sacred bird let me at eve	K2
Thus wandering all alone	Z
Thy tender counsel oft receive	K2
Bear witness to thy pensive airs	L2
And pity nature's common cares	L2
Till I forget my own	Z
