Thou looket on the stars, my Star. Would I were heaven, to look on thee with many eyes.
ἀστέρας εἰσαθρεῖς ἀστήρ ἐμός. εἴθε γενοίμην οὐρανός, ὡς πολλοῖς ὄμμασιν εἰς σὲ βλέπω.

Of old among the living thou didst shine the Star of morn ; now shinest thou in death the Star of eve.
ἀστὴρ πρὶν μὲν ἔλαμπες ἐνὶ ζωοῖσιν Ἑῷος: νῦν δὲ θανὼν λάμπεις Ἕσπερος ἐν φθιμένοις.— Paton edition
