To Venus

Francis Beaumont (1584–1616) and John Fletcher (1579–1625)

O DIVINE star of Heaven,

Thou in power above the seven;

Thou, O gentle Queen, that art

Curer of each wounded heart,

Thou the fuel, and the flame;

Thou in heaven, and here, the same;

Thou the wooer, and the wooed;

Thou the hunger, and the food;

Thou the prayer, and the prayed;

Thou what is or shall be said.
