We in Dialogues must doe it,
The my dainty Girles set to it.
Claia. _This day must _Tita_ marryed be,
Come Nimphs this nuptiall let vs see._
Mertilla. _But is it certaine that ye say,
Will she wed the Noble Faye?_
Cloris. _Sprinckle the dainty flowers with dewes,
Such as the Gods at Banquets vse: 140
Let Hearbs and Weeds turne all to Roses,
And make proud the posts with posies:
Shute your sweets into the ayre,
Charge the morning to be fayre._
Claia. } _For our _Tita_ is this day,
Mertilla. } To be married to a Faye._
Claia. _By whom then shall our Bride be led
To the Temple to be wed._
Mertilla. _Onely by your selfe and I,

Ye most braue and Buxome Beuye,
All your goodly graces Leuye,
Come in Maiestie and state
Our Brydall here to celebrate._

To this nuptiall to repayre;
Till with their throngs themselues they smother,
Strongly styfling one another;
And at last they all consume,
And vanish in one rich perfume._

Claia. _The Priest he purposely doth come,
Th' Arch Flamyne of Elizium._
Cloris. _With Tapers let the Temples shine,
Sing to Himen, Hymnes diuine:
Load the Altars till there rise
Clouds from the burnt sacrifice;
With your Sensors fling aloofe
Their smels, till they ascend the Roofe._ 180
Mertilla. } _For our _Tita_ is this day,
Claia. } Married to a noble Fay._
Mertilla. _But comming backe when she is wed,
Who breakes the Cake aboue her head._
