I	A
	-
HAIL sun beams in the east are spread	B
Leave leave fair bride your solitary bed	B
No more shall you return to it alone	C
It nurseth sadness and your body's print	D
Like to a grave the yielding down doth dint	D
You and your other you meet there anon	C
Put forth put forth that warm balm breathing thigh	A
Which when next time you in these sheets will smother	E
There it must meet another	E
Which never was but must be oft more nigh	A
Come glad from thence go gladder than you came	F
To day put on perfection and a woman's name	F
Daughters of London you which be	G
Our golden mines and furnish'd treasury	G
You which are angels yet still bring with you	H
Thousands of angels on your marriage days	I
Help with your presence and devise to praise	I
These rites which also unto you grow due	H
Conceitedly dress her and be assign'd	J
By you fit place for every flower and jewel	K
Make her for love fit fuel	K
As gay as Flora and as rich as Ind	J
So may she fair and rich in nothing lame	F
To day put on perfection and a woman's name	F
	-
And you frolic patricians	L
Sons of those senators wealth's deep oceans	L
Ye painted courtiers barrels of other's wits	M
Ye countrymen who but your beasts love none	C
Ye of those fellowships whereof he's one	C
Of study and play made strange hermaphrodites	M
Here shine this bridegroom to the temple bring	N
Lo in yon path which store of strew'd flowers graceth	O
The sober virgin paceth	O
Except my sight fail 'tis no other thing	N
Weep not nor blush here is no grief nor shame	F
To day put on perfection and a woman's name	F
	-
Thy two leaved gates fair temple unfold	J
And these two in thy sacred bosom hold	J
Till mystically join'd but one they be	G
Then may thy lean and hunger starv d womb	P
Long time expect their bodies and their tomb	P
Long after their own parents fatten thee	G
All elder claims and all cold barrenness	M
All yielding to new loves be far for ever	E
Which might these two dissever	E
Always all th'other may each one possess	M
For the best bride best worthy of praise and fame	F
To day puts on perfection and a woman's name	F
	-
Winter days bring much delight	J
Not for themselves but for they soon bring night	J
Other sweets wait thee than these diverse meats	M
Other disports than dancing jollities	M
Other love tricks than glancing with the eyes	M
But that the sun still in our half sphere sweats	M
He flies in winter but he now stands still	Q
Yet shadows turn noon point he hath attain'd	J
His steeds will be restrain'd	J
But gallop lively down the western hill	Q
Thou shalt when he hath run the heaven's half frame	F
To night put on perfection and a woman's name	F
	-
The amorous evening star is rose	M
Why then should not our amorous star inclose	M
Herself in her wish'd bed Release your strings	M
Musicians and dancers take some truce	M
With these your pleasing labours for great use	M
As much weariness as perfection brings	M
You and not only you but all toil'd beasts	M
Rest duly at night all their toils are dispensed	J
But in their beds commenced	J
Are other labours and more dainty feasts	M
She goes a maid who lest she turn the same	F
To night puts on perfection and a woman's name	F
	-
Thy virgin's girdle now untie	J
And in thy nuptial bed love's altar lie	J
A pleasing sacrifice now dispossess	M
Thee of these chains and robes which were put on	C
To adorn the day not thee for thou alone	C
Like virtue and truth art best in nakedness	M
This bed is only to virginity	G
A grave but to a better state a cradle	K
Till now thou wast but able	K
To be what now thou art then that by thee	G
No more be said I may be but I am	R
To night put on perfection and a woman's name	F
	-
Even like a faithful man content	J
That this life for a better should be spent	J
So she a mother's rich stile doth prefer	E
And at the bridegroom's wish'd approach doth lie	J
Like an appointed lamb when tenderly	G
The priest comes on his knees to embowel her	E
Now sleep or watch with more joy and O light	J
Of heaven to morrow rise thou hot and early	G
This sun will love so dearly	G
Her rest that long long we shall want her sight	J
Wonders are wrought for she which had no maim	F
To night puts on perfection and a woman's name	F
