 | The History of Polindor and Flostella |  |
That Six young Knights from pow'rful Thracian State,
Sent to present the Lord Polindor late
That Crown, as due from's royall Ancesters
(Driven from thence by Fate of bloody Wars)
Six Ladies too, from fruitfull Ciprus Land
Imploy'd, with Crown at fair Flostels command
(Whose Right it was, Persandras Heir disclos'd)
Their Barks through envious Furies, Storms oppos'd,
Bright Honour, Virtues Temple yet (at last)
Both Meeting gain'd; toyls, dangers overpast:
Where wondring found that All were Agents sent
To one Joyn'd Princely Pair (most strange event
As happy) now turn'd Fellow-servants prov'd:
Which Nuptialls being heard, transported, mov'd
Through th' fair example, those in Love united;
Espousing too: would shortly Attend; Recited.
