[7] Literally nearly thus:

Now beneath the beaming moon, Cytherean Venus leads forth the band. The decent Graces, joined by the Nymphs, strike the earth with alternate foot.

[8]

Wisdom's sublime, we still are told it,
Yet few admire, though all uphold it;
And but for thee we ne'er had prov'd,
How much e'en wisdom may be lov'd.

[9]

Thou art lovely—so is she,
Say, which should my heart prefer?
Cupid sure was fair like thee.
But his love was brown like her.

[10]

Many weddings have I seen,
By none of them I'm tempted;
Yet still full three fourths of mankind
Incur the risk—and still we find
Full three fourths have repented.
