Lunar Lore

Some works in dead of night are better done, or when the morning Dew prevents the sun. Parch’d meads and stubble mow by Phoebe’s light, which both require the coolness of the night; For moisture then abounds, and pearly rains Descend in silence to refresh the plains. ~ Dryden’s trans. of Virgil’s “Georgics,” Book I.

###

The poor husbandman perceiveth that the increase of the moon maketh plants fruitful, so as in the full moone they are in best strength, decaying in the wane, & in the conjunction [new moon] do entirely wither and fade. ~ Scott.
