A Nuptial Song.
Joy to the Bridegroom, fill the Skies
With pleasing Sounds of welcom Joys.
Joy to the Bride, and lasting Bliss,
That every Night may prove like this.
With pleasing Sounds of welcom Joys.
Joy to the Bride, and lasting Bliss,
That every Night may prove like this.
You that enjoy such Beauties fair,
Be true to love, I say take care;
For that which grieves a Female most,
Is to find her Expectation crost.
Be true to love, I say take care;
For that which grieves a Female most,
Is to find her Expectation crost.

Never were Marriage Joys Divine,
But when two did in one combine:
And he that proves false himself doth cheat,
As sick men taste but cannot eat.
But when two did in one combine:
And he that proves false himself doth cheat,
As sick men taste but cannot eat.
What is a Maidenhead, O what?
Of which weak Fools so often prate?
Oh 'tis a Virgins pride and boast,
That ne'er was found but when 'twas lost.
