Thus in Pompe, and Priestly pride,
To glorious Iuno's Altar goe we;
Thus to Iuno's Altar show we
The noble Bridegroome and his Bride:

112

Let Iuno's hourely blessing send ye
As much ioy as can attend ye.
May these louers neuer want
True ioyes, nor euer beg in vaine
Their choice desiers; but obtaine
What they can wish, or she can grant.
Let Iuno's hourely bessings send ye
As much ioy as can attend yee.
From sacietie, from strife,
Iealousies, domesticke iars,
From those blowes, that leaue no scars,
Iuno protect your mariage life.
Iuno's hourely blessings send yee
As much ioy as can attend ye.
Thus to Hymens sacred bands
We commend your chast deserts,
That as Iuno link'd your hearts,
He would please to ioyne your hands.
And let both their blessings send ye
As much ioy as can attend ye.
