15. An Epithalme.

1

Goe, goe to bed, brook no delay,
The Curfew Saints-bell calls away,
Let Mars with Venus freely play.

2

Be gone, be gone, let modesty
Not check your fancies, but enjoy
These nuptiall pleasures legally.

3

Doll, draw the curtains, let the eyes
Of day be dark, lest she surprize
These (dove-like) sporting Didymies.
23

4

Let stupid Morpheus be exil'd,
Till (arme in arme) you both compil'd
Have laid down earnest for a child.
