EPITHALAMION: 6. GOING TO THE CHAPPELL, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Now from your easts you issue forth, and wee
Last Line: All blessings, which are seene, or thought, by angels eye or heart.
Subject(s): Wedding Song; Epithalamium


Now from your Easts you issue forth, and wee,
As men which through a Cipres see
The rising sun, doe thinke it two,
Soe, as you goe to Church, doe thinke of you,
But that vaile being gone,
By the Church rites you are from thenceforth one.
The Church Triumphant made this match before,
And now the Militant doth strive no more;
Then, reverend Priest, who Gods Recorder art,
Doe, from his Dictates, to these two impart
All blessings, which are seene, or thought, by Angels eye or heart.
