Amasia, or, The Works of the Muses | ||
To a Lady, who, (while endeavouring to tye up some Linen, with a Ribbond, a little of the shortest.) being ask'd how she would manage, if she Lov'd a Gentleman without a Fortune, reply'd, I'll show you—(and so, drawing harder, made the ends meet.)
'Tis done; and you with just Applause are Crown'd;For how can Lovers be too closely bound!
Blest be the Hand, which the firm Knot has ty'd;
O thou, who art the Priestess, grow the Bride.
78
Our Circling Arms shall make the Marriage tye.
Why should'st thou Wed? Thy Charms can never cloy.
Thou wilt for ever be a Bride in Joy.
