EPITHALAMIUM. 



O\V in very truth thou art, 



Sweetheart, mine; 

 Mine to hold close to my heart; 

 Mine to have, and ever prove, 

 Arcady is in my love, 



Sweetheart mine. 



But before the nuptial door, 



Sweetheart mine, 

 Closes on the nevermore, 

 That first troth I would approve, 

 Arcady is in thy love, 



Sweetheart mine. 



Folded in caressing arms, 



Sweetheart mine, 



y Crowned with Love s supremest charms, 

 ^r Thy content and rapture prove, 

 Arcady is mutual love, 

 Sweetheart mine.
