Matthew 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.
