Poet Analysis

First Line: FROM NOISE OF SCARE-FIRES REST YE FREE
Last Line: MY MASTERS ALL, GOOD DAY TO YOU.
Subject(s): SLEEP;
From noise of Scare-fires rest ye free,
From Murders Benedicitie.
From all mischances, that may fright
Your pleasing slumbers in the night:
Mercie secure ye all, and keep
The Goblin from ye, while ye sleep.
Past one aclock, and almost two,
My Masters all, Good day to you.
