ENTERTAINMENT GIVEN BY LORD KNOWLES: SONG 1, by THOMAS CAMPION Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Dance now and sing; the joy and love we owe Last Line: For she is all divine. | ||||||||
Dance now and sing; the joy and love we owe Let cheerful voices and glad gestures show: The Queen of grace is she whom we receive: Honour and state are her guides, Her presence they can never leave. Then in a stately sylvan form salute Her ever-flowing grace; Fill all the woods with echoed welcomes, And strew with flowers this place; Let every bough and plant fresh blossoms yield, And all the air refine: Let pleasure strive to please our goddess, For she is all divine. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A BOOK OF AIRS: SONG 10.
