In envy to the Night

In envy to the Night,
That keeps such revels here,
With my unwelcome light,
Thus I invade her sphere;
Proclaiming wars
To Cynthia, and all her stars,
That, like proud spangles, dress
Her azure tress.
Because I cannot be a guest, ‖: I rise :‖
To shame the Moon, and put out all her eyes.
