First Line: Struggling, and faint, and fainter didst thou wane
Last Line: Their beauteous queen and seize her sacred veil.

Struggling, and faint, and fainter didst thou wane,
O Moon! and round thee all thy starry train
Came forth to help thee, with half-open eyes,
And trembled every one with still surprise,
That the black Spectre should have dared assail
Their beauteous queen and seize her sacred veil.
