Founded in reason, loyal, just and pure,

Relations dear, and all the charities

Of father, son, and brother, first were known.

Thou art the fountain of domestic sweets,

Whose bed is undefiled and chaste pronounced.

Here Love his golden shafts employs, here lights

His constant lamp, and waves his purple wings,

Reigns here and revels; not in the bought smile

Of harlots, loveless, joyless, unendear’d,

Casual fruition; nor in court amours,
