Next after whom in vndissembled state
The Bridegroome came; on his right hand did wait

109

The god of Warre, in Martiall robes of greene,
All stain'd with bleeding hearts, as they had beene
But newly wounded, and from euery wound,
Fresh bloud due seeme to trickle on the ground;
And as the garments moou'd, each dying heart
Would seeme to pant a while, and then depart.
Vpon the Bridegroomes left hand there attended
Heauens Pursuiuant, whose brawny arme extended
A winged Caduce; He had scarce the might
To curbe his feet; his feet were wing'd for flight.
Aboue his head their hands did ioyntly hold
A crimzon Canopie embost with gold.
