Vere concordant amores, vere nubunt alites,

Et nemus coma resolvit, &c.———

Cras amet, &c.———

Let those love now who never loved before,

And those who always loved now love the more;

Sweet loves are born with every opening spring;

Birds from the tender boughs their pledges sing, &c.

Since then this of marriage is the last and best refuge, and cure of heroical love, all doubts are cleared, and impediments removed; I say again, what remains, but that according to both their desires, they be happily joined, since it cannot otherwise be helped? God send us all good wives, every man his wish in this kind, and me mine!

[5965]And God that all this world hath ywrought

Send him his Love that hath it so deere bought.
