While [birds of calm] sit brooding on the charmed wave.

VI.

The stars, with deep amaze,

Stand fixed in steadfast gaze, 70

Bending one way [their precious influence],

And will not take their flight,

[For all the morning light],

Or [Lucifer] that often warned them thence;

But in their glimmering orbs did glow, 75

Until their Lord himself bespake, and bid them go.
