Mother of light! how fairly dost thou go
Over those hoary crests, divinely led!

Who call'd her chaste, methinks, began too soon
Their nomenclature; there is not a day,
The longest, not the twenty-first of June,

On which three single hours of moonshine smile--
And then she looks so modest all the while!
