BRIDEGROOME.
Sonet. XXII.
If she be faire, and with her beauty, proveAs chaste, as loyall to her virgin-Love,
As thou hast beene, then in that high degree
Ile honour her, as I have honour'd thee:
Be she as constant as her Vestall vow,
And true to her devoted faith, as thou,
Ile crowne her head, and fill her hand with power,
And give a Kingdome to her for a Dower.
