This is a poetry reading from the month of April, 2024. If you enjoy what you hear, please go over to www.poeticalfragments.com to read more. Comus is a masque, written by John Milton, and performed in 1634. A masque is a kind of court play, a festive drama. So it was a little difficult to read out in this format, but hopefully it is still worth enjoying as an audio recording, since the original poem is certainly worth your time.
