THe night is passed & joyfull day appeareth most cleare on every side, With pleasant musick we therefore salute you, good morrow Mistris Bride: From sleepe and slumber no[w] awake you out of hand your bridegroome stayeth at home: Whose fancy, favour, & affection still doth stand fixed on thee alone: Dresse you in your best array, This must be your wedding day, God almighty send you happy joy: In health and wealth to keep you still, And if it be his blessed will, God keepe you safe from sorrow and annoy. This day is honour now brought into thy bosome and comfort to thy heart: For God hath sent you a fried for to defend you from sorrow, care and smart: In health & sicknes for thy comfort day & night he is appointed and brought, Whose love & liking is most constant sure and right, then love ye him as ye ought: Now you have your hearts desire, And the thing you did require, God almighty send you happy joy: In health and wealth to keep e you still, And if it be your blessed will, God keepe you safe from sorrow and annoy. There is no treasure the which may be compared unto a faithfull friend, Gold soone decayeth and worldly consumeth, and wasteth in the winde, But love once planted in a perfect & pure minde indureth weale and woe: The frownes of fortune come they never so unkinde cannot the same overthrowe.
A bit of bread is better cheare, Where love and friendship doth appeare, then dainty dishes stuffed full of strife: For where the heart is cloyd with care, Sower is the sweetest fare: and death far better then so bad a life, Sweet Brid then may you full well contended stay you, and in your heart rejoyce: Sith God was guider both of your heat & fancy and maker of your choice. And he that preferd you to this happie state will not behold you decay, Nor see you lack reliefe or help in any rate, if you his preceps obay To those that ask it faithfully, The Lord will no good thing deny, this comfort in the Scriptures may you finde, Then let no worldly griefe and care, Vexe your heart with foule dispaire, which doth declare the unbeleeving minde, All things are ready and every whit prepared to beare you company Your friends and parents do give their due attendance together courtously: The house is drest and garnisht for your sake, with flowers gallant and green, A solem feast your comely cooks do ready make where all your friends will be seen, Young men and maids do ready stand, With sweet Rosemary in their hand, a perfect token of your virgins life: To wait upon you they intend, Unto the Church to make an end: and God make thee a joyfull wedded wife.
