Hail, Hymen! god of faithful pairs,
Hail, Hymen! who hast heard our prayers.
"Riches, and power, and rank, and state,
With Manlius' love thy days await;
These all thy youth shall proudly cheer,
And these shall nurse thy latest year.
Hail, Hymen! god of faithful pairs!
Hail, Hymen! who hast heard our prayers.
"Oh! boundless be your love's excess,
And soon our hopes let children bless;
