 | The Grecian Story |  |
Then marched forth the Lord Thersander there,
Florena led by th' Hand; She blush'd howe're,
Whilst He did smile; stoll'n Match it prov'd that day,
Since the Brides-groom (He said) did lead the way,
Chose th' Honest Road Himself had follow'd thus,
Grown Marry'd Man; Times chang'd, less dangerous.
Which large Contentment gave, unlook'd-for sight,
Wish'd Joy by All for second Wedding-Night.
