Page 99 - When Venus claim'd the golden prize, And bless'd the Phrygian shepherd's eyes; No brighter charms his judgment sway'd Than those that grace this mortal maid ; And every sigh and omen fair The nuptials hail, and greet the pair.

Suns that set again may rise; We, when once our fleeting light, Once our day in darkness dies, Sleep in one eternal night.

"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.
Page 98 - When Venus claim'd the golden prize. And bless'd the Phrygian shepherd's eyes ; No brighter charms his judgment sway'd Than those that grace this mortal maid ; And every sigh and omen fair The nuptials hail, and greet the pair.
