First Line: Weep venus, and ye
Last Line: And the noose is now slipped upon * * *
Subject(s): Wedding Song; Epithalamium


Weep Venus, and ye
Adorable Three
Who Venus for ever environ.
Pounds, shillings, and pence
And shrewd sober sense
Have clapt the strait waistcoat on * * *
Off Mainot and Turk
With pistol and dirk,
Nor palace nor pinnace set fire on
The cord's fatal jerk
Has done its last work
And the noose is now slipped upon * * *
