And shall our story discontinue here?
Or want a period, till another yeare?
Shall we befriend these louers, with the night,
And leaue them buried in their owne delight?
And so conclude? No, it shall ne're be sed,
That mariage ioyes end in the mariage bed.
Fond, and adulterate is that loue, which founds
Her happinesse on such vnstable grounds:
And, like a sudden blaze, it neuer lasts,
But as the pleasure waxes cold, it wasts.
