Well Sir, for want of a better, I am content to take you. Join 'em, Priest. Thus I conjoin you in religious bands. Now usher Phryne to my amorous arms. The generous Asotus and fair Phryne Present their vows unto thee, gracious Hymen. I forbid the banes. I forbid the banes. And can there be no weddings without prodigies? This is th' impediment, the Azymenes Or Planetary hindrance threatened me. By the Almutes of the seventh house, In an aspect of Tetragon radiation, If Luna now be corporally joined, I may o'ercome th' averseness of my stars. Sir, as you cleared our doubts, I will clear yours. See you these ghosts? Well Sexton, take heed hereafter How you rob the dead; some of 'em may cozen you. Pardon me, Sir; I seriously vow Henceforth to rob no creature but the living. Well, you shall both fast tonight, and take penance at the lower end of the table in these sheets, and that shall be your punishment. Phryne, I take thee for my loving spouse. And I take you for my obedient husband. And I conclude the tie. Ha, you sweet rogue! WHy how now Tutor, a rope about your neck? I have heard, that hanging and marrying go by destiny; But I never thought they had come together before. I have cast a serious thought upon my guilt, And find myself an arrant rogue. The gallows Was all the inheritance I was ever born to. e'en use me as you please. Pray, Sir, let me beg my tutor's pardon.— Spare him today: for when the night comes on, There's sweeter executions to be done. You have prevailed. No man be sad today. Come, you shall dine with me. Pardon me, Sir: I will not have it said by the malicious, that I eat at another man's table the first day I set up housekeeping. No, you shall all go home and dine with me. Come then: our joys are ripened to perfection. Let us give heaven the praise, and all confess, There is a difference twixt the jealousy Of those that woo, and those that wedded be. This will hatch vipers in the nuptial bed, But that prevents the aking of the head. HOw now? Will our endeavours give satisfaction? I find by the horoscope, and the elevation of the bright Aldeboran, a Sextile opposition; and that th'Almutes is inclining to the enemy's house. A way with your Almutes, Horoscopes, Elevations, Aldeborans, Sextiles, and Oppositions. I have an art of mine own to cast this figure by. THe Lovers now Jealous of nothing be But your acceptance of their Comedy. I question not heaven's influence: for here I behold Angels of as high a Sphere. You are the stars I gaze at, we shall find Our labours blessed, if your Aspects be kind,
