The Epilogue, spoken by Cupid, pointing to the severall Plannets.

Now Royall Princes, let me turne to you,
Daigne from Loves mouth, to take this nights adieu:
Thinke all these Plannets that on earth here move,
(Shadowes of those Cœlestiall ones above)
Breath on you their best Influences; Vulcan he,
Shall henceforth take charge of your Armory.
Juno the Marriage Queen, shall blesse your bed:
The Sunne shall take the bright beames from his head,
To increase your glories lusture: and the Moone,
Attend on you, to make your Mid-night noone:
And Mercury shall roame from shore to shore
Upon your errands, proove your happy ranger,
Home-bred to 'spie and foresee forraigne danger:
Venus with sweets, and I with Love will charme you;
And after all these, Ioue with Power shall arme you.
I'have kept you waking long, good night, 'tis late,
And many Birth-dayes may you Celebrate.
