THE LORDS' MASQUE: ENTHEUS SPEAKS by THOMAS CAMPION

Poet Analysis

First Line: MAKE CLEAR THE PASSAGE TO SIBYLLA'S SIGHT
Last Line: THE ROOM WITH SOUNDS OF TRIUMPH, SWEET AND SHRILL.

Make clear the passage to Sibylla's sight,
Who with her trophy comes to crown this night;
And, as herself with music shall be led,
So shall she pull on with a golden thread
A high vast obelisk, dedicate to Fame,
Which immortality itself did frame.
Raise high your voices now; like trumpets fill
The room with sounds of triumph, sweet and shrill.
