| Queen and huntress, chaste and fair,
| Reina y cazadora, casta y hermosa,
|
| Now the sun is laid to sleep,
| Ahora el sol se acuesta a dormir,
|
| Seated in thy silver chair,
| Sentado en tu silla de plata,
|
| State in wonted manner keep.
| Estado de manera habitual mantener.
|
| Earth, let not thy envious shade
| Tierra, no dejes que tu sombra envidiosa
|
| Dare itself to interpose;
| se atreve a interponerse;
|
| Cynthias shining orb was made
| Se hizo el orbe brillante de Cynthias
|
| Heaven to cheer when day did close.
| Cielo para alegrar cuando el día cerró.
|
| Lay thy bow of pearl apart,
| Aparta tu arco de perlas,
|
| And thy crystal-shining quiver,
| y tu aljaba de cristal brillante,
|
| Give unto the flying hart
| Dar al ciervo volador
|
| Space to breathe, how short soever.
| Espacio para respirar, por breve que sea.
|
| Hesperus entreats thy light,
| Hesperus suplica tu luz,
|
| Goddess excellently bright.
| Diosa excelentemente brillante.
|
| Bless us then with wished sight
| Bendícenos entonces con la vista deseada
|
| Thou that makst a day of night. | Tú que haces un día de la noche. |
