Comus

Coming from the same bookstore as my previous post, Grey Matter Books in Hadley, MA, I got my hands on a copy of Comus. See, I know Comus from the psych-out folk band, but didn't know it was a madrigal from the 1600's. the book was cheap, and has these amazing illustrations. I've read into a it a little, but I'll be honest, I don't like Ye Olde Enlifh very much, and the pentameter of the poetry is a little hard to read. That and I only pick up books as I'm laying down in bed ready to pass out.

Here's a link to a scan of the text.
