[Foh,] hath, shame, proclaim, oh—
In sacred raptures flowing, will proclaim [no!].
Oh, me they priest inspire!
For I to thee and thine immortal name,
In flowing numbers filled with spright and flame (Good, good!)
In flowing numbers filled with spright and flame.
John Fletcher is believed to have composed the greater part of the plays by Beaumont and Fletcher.
The Laughing Song is attributed to Fletcher alone.
