ENTERTAINMENT GIVEN BY LORD KNOWLES: SONG 2 by THOMAS CAMPION

Poet Analysis

First Line: YET ONCE AGAIN LET US OUR MEASURES MOVE
Last Line: WHICH YOU VOUCHSAFE TO GRACE.

@3Yet once again let us our measures move,
And with sweet notes record our joyful love.
An object more divine none ever had:
Beauty, and heaven-born worth,
Mixt in perfection never fade.
Then with a dance triumphant let us sing
Her high advanced praise,
And ev'n to heaven our gladsome welcomes
With wings of music raise;
Welcome, O welcome, ever-honoured Queen,
To this now-blessed place!
That grove, that bower, that house is happy
Which you vouchsafe to grace.@1
