On l. 125. (G.):--

"_In saffron robes_ and all his solemn rites,

Thrice sacred _Hymen_."

_Sylvester's Du Bartas._

and in Spanish Tragedy:--

"The two first the nuptial torches bore,

As brightly burning as the mid-day's sun:

But after them doth _Hymen_ hie as fast,

Clothed in sable and a _saffron robe_."
