The Hesperides & Noble Numbers/Hesperides/The Good-night or Blessing
314. THE GOOD-NIGHT OR BLESSING.
Blessings in abundance come
To the bride and to her groom;
May the bed and this short night
Know the fulness of delight!
Pleasures many here attend ye,
And, ere long, a boy Love send ye
Curled and comely, and so trim,
Maids, in time, may ravish him.
Thus a dew of graces fall
On ye both; good-night to all.
