Matthew Prior - To A Friend On His NuptialsMatthew Prior - To A Friend On His Nuptials
Work rating: Low


When Jove lay bless`d in his Alcmæna`s charms, Three nights in one he press`d her in his arms; The sun lay set, and conscious nature strove To shade her god, and to prolong his love.     From that auspicious night Alcides came; What less could rise from Jove and such a dame?     May this auspicious night with that compare, Nor less the joys, nor less the rising heir, He strong as Jove, she like Alcmæna fair.
