MASQUE AT THE MARRIAGE OF THE EARL OF SOMERSET: SONG (2), by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Come ashore, come, merry mates
Last Line: And so good-night to all, good-night to all.


Come ashore, come, merry mates,
With your nimble heels and pates:
Summon every man his knight,
Enough honoured is this night.
Now, let your sea-born goddess come,
Quench these lights, and make all dumb.
Some sleep; others let her call:
And so good-night to all, good-night to all.
