To the Moon
Hear, Goddess queen, diffusing silver light
Bull-horned and wandering through the gloom of Night
With stars surrounded, and with circuit wide
Night's torch extending, through the heavens you ride
Female and Male with borrowed rays you shine
And now full-orbed, now tending to decline
Mother of ages, fruit-producing Moon
Whose amber orb makes Night's reflected noon
Lover of horses, splendid, queen of Night
All-seeing power bedecked with starry light
Lover of vigilance, the foe of strife
In peace rejoicing, and a prudent life
Fair lamp of Night, its ornament and friend
Who gives to Nature's works their destined end
Queen of the stars, all-wife Diana hail!
Decked with a graceful robe and shining veil
Come, blessed Goddess, prudent, starry, bright
Come moony-lamp with chaste and splendid light
Shine on these sacred rites with prosperous rays
And pleased accept your suppliant's mystic praise
Bull-horned and wandering through the gloom of Night
With stars surrounded, and with circuit wide
Night's torch extending, through the heavens you ride
Female and Male with borrowed rays you shine
And now full-orbed, now tending to decline
Mother of ages, fruit-producing Moon
Whose amber orb makes Night's reflected noon
Lover of horses, splendid, queen of Night
All-seeing power bedecked with starry light
Lover of vigilance, the foe of strife
In peace rejoicing, and a prudent life
Fair lamp of Night, its ornament and friend
Who gives to Nature's works their destined end
Queen of the stars, all-wife Diana hail!
Decked with a graceful robe and shining veil
Come, blessed Goddess, prudent, starry, bright
Come moony-lamp with chaste and splendid light
Shine on these sacred rites with prosperous rays
And pleased accept your suppliant's mystic praise
