11Now good night! our feast is over,Good-night! Good-night! Our feast is ended,
22Where in joyous troops attending,By young and old with smiles attended;
33Lord and lady, maid and lover,Where Wit and Worth and beauty blended,
44Dance and song with smiles were blending.To speed the hours with dance and song.
55Beauty’s smile unknown to guile,Beauty’s smile
66And wit that shone but wounded none;Free from guile,
77And manly worth and woman true,Wit that shone
88Good night! and joy go home with you!Wounding none;
99And manly Worth and Woman true,
1010Good night! and softly o’er your slumbersGood-night! and joy go home with you!
1111May your minstrel’s measures stealing
1212Spellbind still each care that cumbers,Good-night! and may your minstrel’s numbers
1313Still subdue each stormy feeling.Still echo on amid your slumbers,
1414Beauty, mirth, and wit and worth,To spell-bind every care that cumbers
1515O fall to sleep most calm and deep,The lover’s heart, the mother’s breast.
1616Nor rouse till rosy morrow call,Beauty, Mirth,
1717“Awake and joy go with you all!”Wit and Worth
18Fall to sleep,
19Calm and deep,
20Nor rouse, till rosy morrow call,
21“Awake, and joy go with you all!”
