ENTERTAINMENT GIVEN BY LORD KNOWLES: SONG 2, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Yet once again let us our measures move
Last Line: Which you vouchsafe to grace.


Yet 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.
