praised be diana - charles villiers stanford lyrics

Loading...

praised be diana’s fair and harmless light
praised be the dews where with she moists the ground
praised be her beams, the glory of the night
praised be her power, by which all powers abound

praised be her nymphs, with whom she decks the woods
praised be her knight, in whom true honour lives
praised be that force, by which she moves the floods;
let that diana shine which all these gives!

in heaven queen she is among the spheres
she mistress*like makes all things to be pure;
eternity in her oft change she bears
she beauty is, by her the fair endure

time wears her not, she doth his chariot guide;
mortality below her orb is placed;
by her the virtue of the stars down slide
in her is virtue’s perfect image cast

a knowledge pure it is her worth to know;
with circes let them dwell that think not so
