 To those that ask it faithfully The LORD will no good thing deny: This comfort in the Scriptures may you find. Then let no worldly grief and care Vex your heart with foul despair: Which doth declare the unbelieving mind.

All things are ready and every whit prepared to bear you company. Your friends and parents do give their due attendance together courteously. The house is drest and garnisht for your sake with flowers gallant and green. A solemn feast your comely cooks do ready make; where all your friends will be seen. Young men and maids do ready stand With sweet rosemary in their hand; A perfect token of your virgin's life: To wait upon you they intend Unto the church to make an end: And GOD make thee a joyful wedded wife.

FINIS.
