MASQUE AT THE MARRIAGE OF THE EARL OF SOMERSET: SONG (1), by THOMAS CAMPION Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Go, happy man, like th' evening star Last Line: For now are you long-looked-for here. | ||||||||
Go, happy man, like th' evening star, Whose beams to bridegrooms welcome are: May neither hag, nor fiend withstand The power of thy victorious hand. The uncharmed knights surrender now, By virtue of thy raised bough. Away, enchantments! vanish quite, No more delay our longing sight: 'Tis fruitless to contend with Fate, Who gives us power against your hate. Brave knights, in courtly pomp appear For now are you long-looked-for here. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A BOOK OF AIRS: SONG 10.
