- COMFORTS lasting, loves increasing,
- Like soft hours never ceasing:
- Plenty's pleasure, peace complying,
- Without jars, or tongues envying;
- Hearts by holy union wedded,
- More than theirs by custom bedded;
- Fruitful issues; life so graced,
- Not by age to be defaced,
- Budding, as the year ensu'th,
- Every spring another youth:
- All what thought can add beside
- Crown this bridegroom and this bride!
- John Ford

- GLORIES, pleasures, pomps, delights, and ease,
- Can but please
- The outward senses, when the mind
- Is untroubled or by peace refined.
- Crowns may flourish and decay,
- Beauties shine, but fade away.
- Youth may revel, yet it must
- Lie down in a bed of dust.
- Earthly honours flow and waste,
- Time alone doth change and last.
- Sorrows mingled with contents prepare
- Rest for care;
- Love only reigns in death; though art
- Can find no comfort for a broken heart.
- John Ford
