To my Cousin (C. R.) marry∣ing my Lady (A.)
HAppy Youth, that shalt possessSuch a spring-tyde of delight,As the sated AppetiteShall enjoying such excessWith the flood of pleasure less.When the Hymeneall RiteIs perform'd, invoke the night,That it may in shadowes dressThy too reall happiness;Else (as Semele) the bright,Deitie in her full hightMay thy feeble soul oppress.Strong perfumes, and glaring light,Oft destroy both smell, and sight.
