"If so, glide through the ranks of Virgins, pass
The Showers of Roses, lucky four-leaved grass:
The while the cloud of younglings sing,
And drown you with a flowery spring:
While some repeat
Your praise, and bless you, sprinkling you with Wheat,
While that others do divine,
'Blest is the Bride on whom the Sun doth shine';
And thousands gladly wish
You multiply as do the fish.

"Why then go forward, sweet Auspicious Bride,
And come upon your Bridegroom like a Tide
Bearing down Time before you; hye
Swell, mix, and loose your souls; imply
Like streams which flow
Encurled together, and no difference show
In their [most] silver waters; run
Into your selves like wool together spun.
Or blend so as the sight
Of two makes one Hermaphrodite.

"And, beauteous Bride, we do confess you are wisedoling]
On drawing forth those bashful jealousies
In love's name, do so; and a price
Set on yourself by being nice.
