Seek for a better pastime, nobler be:
To make of souls a sacrifice on high
Thou toilest and dost watch;—'tis vanity,
If thou dost bring them not with better mind
To the sweet union Hymen hath designed.
The mighty hand of thy amazing might
Thou canst herein to all the world display,
Making the tender bride in love delight,
And by her bridegroom be beloved alway;
The infernal jealous madness that doth blight
