COMUS
A Mask Presented at Ludlow Castle
1634 &c.
(a poem by John Milton incl. Sabrina the Water Nymph)
SONG
S
abrina fair,
L
isten where thou art sitting
U
nder the glassie, cool, translucent wave,
I
n twisted braids of Lillies knitting
T
he loose train of thy amber-dropping hair,
L
isten for dear honour's sake,
G
oddess of the silver lake,
L
isten and save.
(Sabrina rises, attended by water-Nymphes, and sings)
