Rhyme Scheme: ABABCCDD EFGHHII JDJDKLMM| Night loathed jaylor of the lock'd up sun | A |
| And tyrant turnkey on committed day | B |
| Bright eyes lye fettered in thy dungeon | A |
| And Heaven it self doth thy dark wards obey | B |
| Thou dost arise our living hell | C |
| With thee grones terrors furies dwell | C |
| Until LUCASTA doth awake | D |
| And with her beams these heavy chaines off shake | D |
| - | |
| Behold with opening her almighty lid | E |
| Bright eyes break rowling and with lustre spread | F |
| And captive day his chariot mounted is | G |
| Night to her proper hell is beat | H |
| And screwed to her ebon seat | H |
| Till th' Earth with play oppressed lies | I |
| And drawes again the curtains of her eyes | I |
| - | |
| But bondslave I know neither day nor night | J |
| Whether she murth'ring sleep or saving wake | D |
| Now broyl'd ith' zone of her reflected light | J |
| Then frose my isicles not sinews shake | D |
| Smile then new Nature your soft blast | K |
| Doth melt our ice and fires waste | L |
| Whil'st the scorch'd shiv'ring world new born | M |
| Now feels it all the day one rising morn | M |
