_Raising of the Bride._

But now, to Thee, faire Bride, it is some wrong,

To thinke thou wert in Bed so long,

Since Soone thou lyest downe first, tis fit 140

Thou in first rising should'st allow for it.

Pouder thy Radiant haire,

Which if without such ashes thou would'st weare,

Thou, which to all which come to looke upon,

Art meant for Phœbus, would'st be Phaëton. 145

For our ease, give thine eyes th'unusual part

Of joy, a Teare; so quencht, thou maist impart,

To us that come, thy inflaming eyes, to him, thy loving heart.
