HELENA.

Oh, waning moon! why hidest thou thy face?

Fair is the night, but less fair than my lover absent;

Unveil thyself from the jealous cloud-woof,

And thou wilt see how fair is he I worship.

CHORUS.

O Dian! sun of the lovers’ night, I call thee.

HELENA.

Thou canst control the tides of ocean,

The tides obedient, who are slaves to thee,
