Beaumont And Fletcher Heavy Poems
- 1. Song - Shake Off Your Heavy Trance
Shake off your heavy trance,
And leap into a dance,
Such as no mortals use to tread,
Fit only for Apollo -
... - 2. Bonduca
{Bonduca the British queen, taking occasion from a defeat of the Romans to impeach their valor, is rebuked by Caratac.}
Queen Bonduca, I do not grieve your fortune.
If I grieve, 'tis at the bearing of your fortunes;
... - 3. Folding The Flocks
Shepherds all, and maidens fair,
Fold your flocks up; for the air
'Gins to thicken, and the sun
Already his great course hath run.
...
