MASQUE AT THE MARRIAGE OF THE EARL OF SOMERSET: THIRD SQUIRE, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: At sea their mischiefs grew, but ours at land
Last Line: Fair to our eyes, but woeful to behold.


At sea their mischiefs grew, but ours at land,
For being by chance arrived, while our knights stand
To view their storm-tossed friends on two cliffs near,
Thence, lo, they vanished, and six pillars were
Fixed in their footsteps; pillars all of gold,
Fair to our eyes, but woeful to behold.
