Had now resignd his office with the Ewer,
The curious linnen gone, and all the rights
Perform'd, that long to festiuall delights,
The light foot Hermes enters in the Hall,
Holds forth his Caduce, and adiures them all
To depth of silence; Tells them; 'tis his taske;
To let them know, the Gods intende a Maske,
To grace these nuptialls; and, with that, he spred
His ayre-diuiding pinions, and fled:
