Epithalamions |
|
Vpon ffrederick Count Palatine |
and the Lady Elizabeth |
marryed on S.t |
Valentines day |
|
Hayle Bishop Valentine whose day this is [317] |
All the Ayre is thy Diocesse |
And all the chirping Queristers |
And other birds ar thy parishioners |
Thou marryest every yeare |
The Lyrick Larke and the graue whispering Doue |
The Sparrow that neglects his life for Loue |
The houshold bird with the redd Stomacher |
Thou makst the Blackbird speede as soone |
As doth the Goldfinch or the Halcyon |
The Husband Cock lookes out and soone is spedd |
And meetes his wife w.ch brings her feather bedd. |
This day more cheerefully then ever shine |
This day wch might inflame thy selfe old Valentine.
