The EPITHALAMIUM of PETRUS ÆGIDIUS.
The ARGUMENT.
The Muses and Graces are brought in, as singing the Epithalamium of Peter Ægidius. Alipius spies the nine Muses, and the three Graces coming out of a Grove, which Balbinus can't see: They take their Way to Antwerp, to the Wedding of Ægidius, to whom they wish all joy, that nothing of Difference or Uneasiness may ever arise between 'em. How those Marriages prove that are made, the Graces not favouring 'em. Congratulatory Verses.
ALIPIUS, BALBINUS, MUSÆ.
Al. Good God! What strange glorious Sight do I see here?
Ba. Either you see what is not to be seen, or I can't see that which is to be seen.
Al. Nay, I'll assure you, 'tis a wonderful charming Sight.
Ba. Why do you plague me at this Rate? Tell me, where 'tis you see it.
Al. Upon the left Hand there in the Grove, under the Side of the Hill.
Ba. I see the Hill, but I can see nothing else.
