Epithalamium, Or a Nuptial Song for the marriage of the Lord Brackley with the Lady Eliza∣beth Cranfield.
THe fairest Flower of Cranfield's race,And noblest branch of Egerton,Accompanied with every Grace,By Hymen now are joyn'd in one.
Go happy youth, and tast a bedThe pleasures fair Eliza. yields,By far surpassing all that's sedOt'h pleasures of the Elizian fields.
descriptionPage 20
And fair Eliza. be'nt afraidO'th' bug-bears of a married life,Those Fears which haunt you now a Maid,VVill vanish soon, when y'are a VVife.
And when y'are once a Mother grown,Such Joy they in their place shall leave,Can ne're be exprost by human Tongue,Nor human heart can e're conceive!
