THE LORDS' MASQUE: FIRST DANCE, by THOMAS CAMPIONPoet AnalysisPoet's Biography
First Line: Breathe you now, while io hymen Last Line: Beauty and youth unite them both in one.
Breathe you now, while Io Hymen To the bride we sing: O how many joys and honours, From this match will spring! Ever firm the league will prove, Where only goodness causeth love. Some for profit seek What their fancies most disleek: These love for virtue's sake alone: Beauty and youth unite them both in one.
