But, with thousands when we burn, Mix, confuse the sums at last, That we may not blushing learn All that have between us past.

"Now close the doors, ye maiden friends; Our sports, our rite, our service ends. With you let virtue still reside, O bridegroom brave, and gentle bride, And youth its lusty hours employ In constant love and ardent joy.
