To trill a fulsome lay,
Or hymn High Bridals with Spenserian state.
Goodwill to goodness simply dedicate,—
Such homage Punch would pay.
"Hymen, O Hymen!" Like this torch's flame,
Bright be your wedded days!
May a proud people's praise,
Well earned, be your award of honest fame;
And on each gracious head,
Light may it lie, the crown you yet may claim,
