EVENSONG, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Beginne with jove; then is the worke halfe done
Last Line: So sure he layes claime to the evensong.


Beginne with Jove; then is the worke halfe done;
And runnes most smoothly, when tis well begunne.
Jove's is the first and last: The Morn's his due,
The midst is thine; but Joves the Evening too;
As sure as Mattins do's to him belong,
So sure he layes claime to the Evensong.
