TEXTS:
(The text of the 1st Folio)
Come vnto these yellow sands,
and then take hands:
Curtsied when you haue, and kist
the wilde waues whist:
Foote it featly heere, and there,
and sweete Sprights beare
the burthen.
Harke, Harke, bowgh-wawgh:
the watch-Dogges barke,
bowgh-wawgh.
Hark, Hark, I heare, the straine
of strutting Chanticlere cry
cockadiddle-dowe.
Full fadom fiue thy Father lies
Of his bones are Corrall made:
Those are pearles that were his eies,
Nothing of him that doth fade,
But doth suffer a Sea-change
Into Something rich, & Strange:
Sea-Nimphs hourly ring his knell
ding dong.
Harke now I heare them,
ding-dong bell
While you here do Snoaring lie
Open-ey'd Conspiracie
His time doth take:
If of Lif you keepe a care,
Shake off slumber and beware.
Awake, awake.4. Where the Bee Sucks, There Suck I Where the Bee sucks, there suck I
In a cowsleps bell, I lie,
There I cowch when Owles doe crie,
On the Batts backe I doe flie
after Sommer merrily.
Merrily, merrily, shall I liue now,
Vnder the blossom that hangs on the Bow.
