Lyrics: Ben Jonson
  Vocals: Maddy Prior and Sally Oldfield
    Queen and huntress chaste and fair.
  Now the sun is laid to sleep,
  Seated in a silver chair,
  State in wanted manner keep.
    Earth let not an envious shade
  Dare itself to interpose.
  Cynthia's shining orb was made
  Heaven to cheer when day did close.
    Lay the bow of pearl apart,
  And the crystal-shining quiver,
  Give unto the flying heart
  Space to breathe how short so ever
    Hesperus entreats thy light
  Goddess excellently bright.
  Bless us then with wished sight
  Thou who makes a day of night.
