The Moon—who does not love the silver moon,

In all her fantasies and all her phases?

Whether full-orb’d in the nocturnal noon,

Shining in all the dewdrops on the daisies,

To light the tripping Fairies in their mazes,

Whilst stars are winking at the pranks of Puck;

Or huge and red, as on brown sheaves she gazes;

Or new and thin, when coin is turn’d for luck;

Who will not say that Dian is a Duck?

But, oh! how tender, beautiful and sweet,
