from Cathemerinon
Yee night, and darknes, cloudie aire,
Confusion, tempest; hence away:
(Light now appeares, the skie growes faire,
Christ is at hand;) be gone, I say.
Now earth's black mantle's cut atwaine,
Smitten with dart of Suns bright ray:
Each thing receives its hue againe,
Through smiling visage of the day.
Thee, Christ, we vouch to know alone,
To thee with pure and plaine intent;
With sighes and tears we make our moan,
To our desires give thou assent.
How many things false-coloured are,
Which with thy light would cleered be?
Thou art the light of Easterne star,
Lighten us with thy count'nance free.
– Prudentius (AD 348-410), translated by Alexander Huish (1634)
