As thou still black must be,

Till her kind beams thy black to brightness turneth.

Follow her while yet her glory shineth:

There comes a luckless night,

That will dim all her light;

And this the black unhappy shade divineth.

Follow still since so thy fates ordainèd;

The Sun must have his shade,

Till both at once do fade—

The Sun still proud, the shadow still disdainèd.
