Part 30

The Priests descend and sing this song following, after whom the Knights likewise descend: first laying aside their vailes, belts, and swords.

The first Song.

_Shake off your heavy traunce,_ _And leape into a daunce,_ _Such as no mortals use to treade,_ _Fit only for_ Apollo _To play to, for the Moone to lead,_ _And all the Starres to follow._

The Knights by this time are all descended and fallen into their place, and then daunce their first Measure.

The second Song.

_On blessed youthes, for_ Jove _doth pause_ _Laying aside his graver lawes_ _For this device,_ _And at the wedding such a paire,_ _Each daunce is taken for a praier,_ _Each song a sacrifice._

The Knights daunce their second Measure.

The third Song.

Single.

_More pleasing were these sweet delights,_ _If Ladies mov'd as well as Knights;_ _Runne ev'ry one of you and catch_ _A Nymph in honor of this match;_ _And whisper boldly in her eare,_ _Jove will but laugh, if you forsweare._

All.

_And this dayes sinnes he doth resolve_ _That we his Priests should all absolve._

The Knights take their Ladies to daunce with them Galliards, Durets, Corantoes, &c. and leade them to their places. Then loude Musicke sound's, supposed to call them to their _Olympian_ games.

The fourth Song.

_Ye should stay longer if we durst,_ _Away, alas that he that first_ _Gave Time wilde wings to fly away,_ _Hath now no power to make him stay._ _But though these games must needs be plaid,_ _I would this Paire, when they are laid,_ _And not a creature nie them,_ _Could catch his scythe, as he doth passe,_ _And cut his wings, and breake his glasse,_ _And keepe him ever by them._

The Knights daunce their parting Measure and ascend, put on their Swords and Belts, during which time the Priests sing the fifth and last Song.

_Peace and silence be the guide_ _To the Man, and to the Bride,_ _If there be a joy yet new_ _In mariage, let it fall on you,_ _That all the world may wonder._ _If we should stay, we should doe worse,_ _And turne our blessing to a curse,_ _By keeping you asunder._
