A Wedding hay, a wedding hoe, Sir Pandar marries Flora:Looke for no solemne bidding hoe, the feast for to decore-a. Let every streete, of Trading meete, the Wedding to adore-a:Both he and she of Brothelrie, thats Pandar, Baude, or Whore-a. God Priapus, the Bride-knight is, and leades the Lads before-a:With cakes of spice old Meretrice, comes ushering mistresse Flora. The route consi[st]s, of Amorists, and painted faces store-a:Theres Tib for Tom and Ned for Nan, and every Knave is hoe-there. Don Cupids priest with Co[zen-]crest, their galls hath joind together: A peale of hornes, the match adornes, And windes them fast forever. Obscenitie, and Ribauldrie, goes fidling on before them:Desire is guide, and loades the Bride, with Baldpate to adore them
In at the dore, with kissings store, the Damsels are received: And every guest, downe to the feast, in Equipage is seated. Ryat, Excesse, and Wontonnesse, upon the guests attendeth:Quack-salvers stand, with Drugs in hand, to helpe if ought offendeth. At cupboord by with vigill eye, doth stand Apothycaries:For every griefe, to lend reliefe, with oyles and applicasies. Rich waters rare in vyols are, for buboes and for poxes:If other wrong shall chance among, thers Antidotes in boxes. The Rhenish boules, among them troules, hot Sacke and Aquavitie:Tobacco than, from man to man, besmoakes the roomes as titelie. A ribaald song, by every tongue, throughout the house is canted:God Bacchus skinkes, to all their drinkes, there was no liquor wanted.

DIsease and Need bids them good speed, but Lust is deafe and heares not: For Venus glance, and dallyance, besot them so they feare not:The Fidlers sing, Lads closely cling, and make your right conjunctum: The Lasses throate, to every noate, o Io, Io Punctum. God Pan com[es] in, and brings with him, a maske of sundry Gallants:As Squires and Knights, and city wights, crownd all with Vulcans talants:To them comes Lust, with Baudy thrust, of wanton wenches many:Who daunce and sing, and clip and cling, no matter whoso any. The rusticke rout, thus skipt about the hall, in antique faces: While Bacchus bowles turnd all their nowles out of their sober places. Like Silvans fayre, with horne and hayre, they daunct the Cornucopia:With forked shapes to shew the scapes of this their Lady Flora. All civill joyes by wanton toyes to surfets were submitted:
And hayrelesse sculs markt out for guls, in being not stedfast witted. Blinde beldams came, all halting lame, to shew the maskers folly, That young bred lust would turne to dust, and mirth to melancholy. The five fine senses, by expences were hyred slaves to riot:The sight imbrast with touch and tast, to feede on wantons diet. The care and smell on pleasures dwell, when Panders prove their keepers:Luxurious play, thus spent the day. the senses all lay sleepors. Blacke night drew on, and every one, unto his lasse betakes him:But Drunkennesse, so drowld the guesse, Delight could not awake them. In honest names, so soyld their fames, at peeping of Aurora: Like headlesse flies, away each hyes, ashamd of Pandars Flora.
