Haile noble Argalus; now the Cock boate stands
Secure: step forth, and reach thy widened hands,
And take thy fairest Bride into thine armes;
Strike vp (braue spirit) Cupids fresh alarmes
Vpon her melting lips: Take Toll, before
Thou set her dainty foot vpon the shore;
So let her slide vpon thy gentle brest,
And feele the ground: then lead her to her rest.
Goe Imps of honour; let the morning Sun
Gild your delights, and spend his beames vpon
Your marriage triumphs; let his westerne light
Decline apace, and make a early Night.
Goe, Turtles, goe; let trebble ioyes betide
The faithfull Bridegroome, and his fairest Bride.
Let your owne vertues light you to your rest;
To morrow come we to your nuptiall feast.
