VIII

Nox ego sum facie, sed non sum nigra colore
Inque die media tenebras tamen affero mecum;
Nec mihi dant stellae lumen nec Cynthia lucem.

Peck:

My face is like the night, but not so black in shade,
And in the midst of day, behold I've darkness made!
Through me the stars are hid and Cynthia's glories fade.

Ohl:

The face of night have I, but not a black complexion, and yet at midday I bring the darkness with me; the stars give me no gleam nor Cynthia her beam.

Give up? Here's the answer.
