Lunar Lore
Ye stars and moon, that, when the sun retires,
Support his empire with succeeding fires;
And thou, great Hecate, friend to my design;
Songs, mutt’ring spells, your magick forces join;
And thou, O Earth, the magazine that yields
The midnight sorcerer drugs; skies, mountains, fields;
- Ovid, "Metamorphoses," Dryden's translation.
...
Five changes of the moon in one calendar month
indicate cooler weather.
- Collected in R. Inwards, "Weather Lore"
...
How like a queen comes forth the lonely Moon
From the slow opening curtains of the clouds ;
Walking in beauty to her midnight throne !
- George Croly, "Diana."
...
Such a slender moon, going up and up,
Waxing so fast from night to night
And swelling like an orange flower-bud, bright;
Fated, methought, to round as to a golden cup,
And hold to my two lips life’s best of wine.
- Jean Ingelow, "Songs of the Night Watches--The First Watch (pt. II)."
