Living
Haste aboard, haste now away!
From Masque at the Marriage of the Earl of Somerset (1614)
Living
Haste aboard, haste now away!
Hymen frowns at your delay.
Hymen doth long nights affect;
Yield him then his due respect.
The sea-born goddess straight will come,
Quench these lights, and make all dumb.
Some sleepy others she will call:
And so good-night to all, good-night to all.
