An Acrostich on two Pairs of Inseparable Friends married in one Day.

Jove Joyn these Pairs, and May each Blessed Brides
Obtain A Guard of Angels for A Guide:
Heaven, Nature, Vertue, Reason (in cōmuniō)
Nobilitate, Enrich, and Love Your Union:

Grace, Faith, and Knowledge, Bind ye; may ye be
Each Others Bliss; No Evil Injure ye:
Let nothing Re-divide; Eternal Rest,
Love, Dwell, and Last, in each Diviner Brest.
