Epithalium. To Mistris M. A.
Rise from your Virgin sheets, that be
Fy on them a meere Nunnery.
Who solitary Winters leads,
Turnes Bracelets to Religious Beads.
The Virgin that at Hymen stickes,
Should sell her Gemmes for th' Crucifix.
For she's a Nun the Sages tell,
That lies alone though in no Cell.
She midst her Liberties confin'd,
Her Bodie's cloister to her mind.
Be they immur'd whose lookes are wore
Pale as the Relickes they adore.
Where cheekes the Rose and Lilly paint,
A Bridegroome is the onely Saint.
Fy on them a meere Nunnery.
Who solitary Winters leads,
Turnes Bracelets to Religious Beads.
The Virgin that at Hymen stickes,
Should sell her Gemmes for th' Crucifix.

That lies alone though in no Cell.
She midst her Liberties confin'd,
Her Bodie's cloister to her mind.
Be they immur'd whose lookes are wore
Pale as the Relickes they adore.
Where cheekes the Rose and Lilly paint,
A Bridegroome is the onely Saint.
Then as faire Roses to each other laid,
Unite their blushes, and are Garlands made,
So you, who when you are a sunder onely shun,
One Starre will shine a Constellation.
Unite their blushes, and are Garlands made,
So you, who when you are a sunder onely shun,
One Starre will shine a Constellation.
