  • That with more will-full will a-hearing
  • The call to office due, he would
  • Turn footsteps hither, here appearing,
  • Guide to good Venus, and the good

  • Must love-sick wights for aid implore?
  • Whose Godhead foremost shall adore
  • Mankind? 0 Hymenaeus Hymen,
  • O Hymen Hymenaeus.
