On the Marriage of Mts. Frances Cromwell wth Mr. Rich Grandchild to the Earle of Warwicke
Peace ye lowd Violins, Peace,
When the Bride begins to charm us with her Voice,
Rivers their course
And winds their force
Suspending listen to the noise.
When the Bride begins to charm us with her Voice,
Rivers their course
And winds their force
Suspending listen to the noise.
Play ye lowd Violins, Play!
When the Bride begins to celebrate the Ball,
With measured pace
And sprightly grace
The Nimphs in Dance outshining all.
When the Bride begins to celebrate the Ball,
With measured pace
And sprightly grace
The Nimphs in Dance outshining all.
Noe less than Venus doth the throng
Of Stars that round about her bee.
Faire Venus from the Ocean sprang,
She from the Prince that rules the Sea.
Of Stars that round about her bee.
Faire Venus from the Ocean sprang,
She from the Prince that rules the Sea.
Her Beauty and his martial fame
Are theames for Lasting Song,
Soe Honny from the Lyon came,
And sweetness from the strong.
Are theames for Lasting Song,
32
And sweetness from the strong.
Ed. Waller
