The Marriage of Edward Herbert Esquire, and Mrs. Elizabeth Herbert

CUPID one day ask'd his Mother, 
 When she meant that he shou'd Wed? 
You're too Young, my Boy, she said: 
 Nor has Nature made another 
 Fit to match with Cupid's Bed. 


Cupid then her Sight directed 
 To a lately Wedded Pair; 
Where Himself the Match effected; 
 They as Youthful, they as Fair. 


Having by Example carry'd 
 This first Point in the Dispute; 
WORSELEY next he said's not Marry'd: 
 Her's with Cupid's Charms may suit
