THE PLAUDITE, OR END OF LIFE, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: If after rude and boystrous seas
Last Line: It is the last commends the play.


If after rude and boystrous seas,
My wearyed Pinnace here finds ease:
If so it be I've gain'd the shore
With safety of a faithful Ore:
If having run my Barque on ground,
Ye see the aged Vessell crown'd:
What's to be done? but on the Sands
Ye dance, and sing, and now clap hands.
The first Act's doubtfull, (but we say)
It is the last commends the Play.
