Henry Purcell - "So When The Glitt'ring Queen of Night" (from The Yorkshire-Feast Song). Christine Brandes, soprano,

------
"So when the glitt'ring Queen of Night,
with black Eclipse is shadow'd o'er,
the Globe that Swells with Sullen Pride,
her Dazzling Beams to hide;
does but a little time abide,
and then each Ray is brighter than before."
