MOON AND VENUS by ABUL MUGHIRA

First Line: WHEN MY EYES DESCRIED THEE
Last Line: SOON TO SPIN BETWEEN US.

When my eyes descried thee
In the dawn, O crescent
Moon, and close beside thee
Venus incandescent,

To my mind observing
Like a ball was Venus,
From thy mallet swerving
Soon to spin between us.
