Subject(s): Marriage; Sisters; Weddings; Husbands; Wives


Cease, fair Aurelia, cease to mourn.
Lament not Hannah's happy state;
You may be happy in your turn,
And seize the treasure you regret.

With love united Hymen stands,
And softly whispers to your charms,
"Meet but your lover in my bands,
You'll find your sister in his arms."
