A SONG.
Hymen triumph in joy,
Since overcom'd Love's Boy:
Each Age, each Sex and Place,
The Wedlock-Laws embrace,
The looser sort can bind,
Monarch of what's Mankind.
Since overcom'd Love's Boy:
Each Age, each Sex and Place,
The Wedlock-Laws embrace,
The looser sort can bind,
Monarch of what's Mankind.
All things do fall so pat
In this Triumvirat,
Which now in Wedlock mix;
Now Three, though once were Six.
In this Triumvirat,
Which now in Wedlock mix;
Now Three, though once were Six.
A Lady said, Such Constant Love was dead,
And all Fidelity to Heaven fled.
Another Lady said, She fain would know,
When Marri'd, if they did continue so.
And all Fidelity to Heaven fled.
40
When Marri'd, if they did continue so.
O, said a Man, such Love (as this was) sure
Doth never in a Married Pair endure:
But Lovers cross'd, use not to end so well:
Which, for to shew, a Tale I mean to tell.
Doth never in a Married Pair endure:
But Lovers cross'd, use not to end so well:
Which, for to shew, a Tale I mean to tell.
