 | The Grecian Story |  |
The King with Prince and Princess now did take
Their formal leaves, tho Invitation make
First of Orontes, Duke, then Brides-groom, Bride
To th' Prince's Marriage near, who strait comply'd;
Sev'n Days from thence, being yet betroth'd alone;
Next way to th' Fields for Mantinea gone.
Orontes Duke return'd i'th' Charret strait,
With Brides-groom, Bride, large Coaches train in State.
Some should lye there, since Mask perform'd that Night,
Others i'th' Town; the rest depart, Moon-light.
