MASQUE AT THE MARRIAGE OF THE EARL OF SOMERSET: SONG (1), by                 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.
