Forthwith (as if that heauens had broken loose,
And Deities had meant to enterpose
Their heauenly bodies, with the mortall tribe
Of men; or, else, intending to ascribe
Their pers'nall honour to this nuptiall)
In more then princely state, enters the Hall
A glorious Show of Ladies, all aray'd
In rare and costly robes, and richly laid
With Iems vnualued; and each Lady wore
A Scarfe vpon her arme, embroidered o'er
With gold and pearle; Thus hand in hand they past
Into the Hall, but oft their eyes did cast
A backward looke, as if their thoughts did minde
Some greater glory, comming on behinde:
