TO SILVIA TO WED, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Let us (though late) at last (my silvia) wed
Last Line: No man at one time, can be wise, and love.
Subject(s): Marriage; Weddings; Husbands; Wives


Let us (though late) at last (my Silvia) wed;
And loving lie in one devoted bed.
Thy Watch may stand, my minutes fly poste haste;
No sound calls back the yeere that once is past.
Then sweetest Silvia, let's no longer stay;
True love, we know, precipitates delay.
Away with doubts, all scruples hence remove;
No man at one time, can be wise, and love.
