Your noble Bride; to whose eternall Eies,
Wee daily offer'd Wreaths in Sacrifice:
Whose warmth gave Laurell growth, whose ev'ry beame
Was first our influence, and then our theame:
Whose brest (too narrow for her heart) was still
Her reasons Throne, and prison to her will:
And since, this is your willing faith; tis fit
What all the kinde, and wiser Starres commit
Unto your charge, be with such eager love,
And soft indeerements us'd, as well may prove,
They meant, when first they taught you how to wooe,
She should be happy, and the Muses too.
Live still, the pleasure of each others sight;
To each, a new made wonder, and delight;
Though two, yet both so much one constant minde,
That t'will be art, and mystery to finde
(Your thoughts and wishes, being still the same)
From which of eithers loving heart they came.
