“

The wakeful nightingale,
She all night long her amorous descant sung;
Silence was pleas’d: now glow’d the firmament
With living sapphires: Hesperus, that led
The starry host, rode brightest, till the moon,
Rising in clouded majesty, at length
Apparent queen unveil’d her peerless light,
And o’er the dark her silver mantle threw.
