MASQUE AT THE MARRIAGE OF THE EARL OF SOMERSET: SONG (3), by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Haste aboard, haste now away
Last Line: And so good-night to all, good-night to all.


Haste aboard, haste now away!
Hymen frowns at your delay.
Hymen doth long nights affect;
Yield him then his due respect.
The sea-born goddess straight will come,
Quench these lights, and make all dumb.
Some sleep; others she will call:
And so good-night to all, good-night to all.
