FOR A BRIDE WHO DIED ON HER WEDDING DAY by MELEAGER

First Line: THAT MORN WHICH SAW ME MADE A BRIDE
Last Line: SUPPLY'D THE EPITHALAMIE.
Subject(s): DEATH; MARRIAGE; DEAD, THE; WEDDINGS; HUSBANDS; WIVES;
That Morne which saw me made a Bride,
The Ev'ning witnest that I dy'd.
Those holy lights, wherewith they guide
Unto the bed the bashfull Bride;
Serv'd, but as Tapers, for to burne,
And light my Reliques to their Urne.
This Epitaph, which here you see,
Supply'd the Epithalamie.
