Harsh sounding Sounds like a mandrake torne out of the earth That living mortals hearing it run mad Kâ—lling stabbing wounding accents Good Newes v. Sweet sounding The sweetest tidings and the greatest wonder As ever broke in sunder the lips of panting fame Which to hear There 's none but would wish all his body eare The happiest newes that ever beg'd an eare Night The nights black wings mask up the light The obscure mantle of the night The shady gloome Whose sable wing In gloomy darknesse husheth every thing Under her sable pinions folds the world When Cynthia darts her borrowed raies The lights black curtain cypresse The gloomy night With sable curtains had beclouded all Daies elder sister Best patronesse of griefe Heavens surrounding steeds Quell their proud courage turne their fainting heads Into the lower hemispheare to coole Their flaming nostrills in the westerne poole When Morpheus with his leaden keyes Locks up the sences Night sheds her poppy on the weary world When leaden sleepe hath seald up all mens eyes The time when mortals take their soft repose The friend to secrets The face of heaven studded with stars The nurse of cares her curtains drawes Nights heavie charmes â—â—ad clos'd all eyes When sleepe bestowes On men and on their cares a sweet repose Night spangs the skie with stars Light â—ies in the shady coverture of night That obscure mantle that invelopes â—ight When silent darknesse doth invite Our eyes to slumber When night hath spread her dusky dampe The sober suited matron Daies sable herse The ebon box wherein heaven puts her light â—haebe's black coachman Deceased lights black coffin The black browd lady Black ey'd empresse That Ethiopian Queen Negro Queen Sâ—art night her brows exalts with stars impal'd The gloomy night on light extends her shades The winter of the day The earth borne shades had clos'd the world with night The nights dew dropping shadowes hide The face of earth The maske of day Night laies her sable mace on earth Sols glorious light Dives to the sea and brings up drowsie night The peaceful night treads busie day under her sable feet The pâ—ndant spangles Beam from the skie and drowsie sleepe entangles The eyes of mortals Nights moist shades the earth doth hide And Cyâ—â—hiâ— in her golden châ—â—iot rides Dark night rusht down and hid the face of earth With her spread sable pinions Heavens eye doth gild the seas In his days journey to th' Antipodes When heaven that was a Cyclops late before Becomes an Argus Over the pole night her thick mantle throwes The time the jetty charioter Huâ—les her black mantle ore our Hemispheare Mother of sleeps and feares That with her sable mantle friendly covers The sweet stollen sports of joyful meeting lovers The day is sunke in hideous night The black-ey'd night her â—able mantlehurld And in thick vapours muffled up the world Which in dull darknesse canopies the light When nights black muffler hoodeth up the skies The sun doth leave us to our rest And Cynthia hath her brothers place possest Now had the glorious sun tane up his Inne And all the lamps of heaven englightned been Virgins now day is fled Make pooâ—e their garments t' enrich their bed Which in a carre of Jet By steeds of iron gray whâ—ch mainly sweat Moist drops on all the world drawn through the skie When we may The bright Celâ—stial spheare sorvey So rich in jâ—wels hung that night appears Like to an Aeâ—hiope bride Now in the sea bright sol had hid his head And stars appear'd the moone her shadowes spread Nights silent reign had â—ob'd the world of light To lend in lieu a greater benefit Repose and sleepe when every mortal brest Whom care or grief permitted took their rest Now nights black mantle had the earth orespread And all the â—â—st of stars in Pâ—aebus stead Though with lesse light adoâ—n'd the spangled skie The night did â—rowning rise Into her throne and from her humerous breasts Visions and dreams lay sucking all mens rests Fell like the mists of dâ—ath upon their eyes Loves Mart of kâ—sses Venus day Soft rest of cares Night laies her velvet hand upon daies face The aire with sparks of living fire is spangled And night deep drencht in misty Acheron Heav'd up her head and halfe the world upon Bâ—eath'd darknesse forth The skie appear'd in sable mourning dresse The ebon night brought in a coach of jet Drawn by her sable feathered steeds ravens When Morpheus â—eâ—geant of the night Had laid his mace upon the dying light And with his listlesse limbes had closely spread The sable curtains of his drowsie bed Darknesse had stain'd The Chrystall brow of day and gloomy night Had spoil'd and rifled heaven of all his light Grim night lookt forth with grizly countenance Her smoakie breath in duskie clouds doth fly â—rom her pale lips and darkned heavens bright glance â—â—evailing ore the earth and azure skie When as the unâ—versal shade Of th' unspangled heaven and earth had made An utter darknesse When as the heavens by the suns teame untrod Hath took no print of the approaching light And al the spangled host keep watch in squadrons bright Her body is confin'd Within a coleblack mantle thorough lin'd With sable surres her tresses were of hiew Like Ebony on which a pearly dew Hung like a spiders web her face did shroud Aswarth complexion underneath a cloud Of black curld cypresse on her head she wore A crown of burnisht gold bâ—shaded ore Wiâ—h fogs and roâ—y mists her hand did bear A scepter and a sable Hemispheare Death resembling shades of night Had drawn their misty curtains twixt the light And every darkned eye Sols horses now eat their Ambrosia Within the westerne meads deposed day Surrenders up her throne and yeilds her right Unto her Negro sister In the raging sea The sun is drown'd and with him falls the day When Cynthia whips her drowsie teame When the wings of night fans sleep on mortals Now was ouâ— heavenly vault deprived of the light With suns depart and now the darknesse of the night
