By th' tide of custome: Which I value more

Then what blind superstitious fooles adore,

Who greatnesse in the chaire of blisse enthrone.

Greatnesse we borrow, Vertue is our owne.

In thy attempt be prosperous, and when ere

Thou shalt prefix the houre; may Hymen weare

His brightest robe; where some fam'd Persian shall

Worke by the wonder of her needle all

The nuptiall joyes; which (if we Poets be

True Prophets) bounteous heaven designes for thee.
