Epigram 123. To Paulinus
From A Chain of Golden Poems (1658)
Social Commentaries
Marry in Lent! tis strange; and yet no treason
You say, although unusual that season:
Marriage is not, but the solemnization
Forbidden then, and y'ave a dispensation.
The Church hath favour'd you; shew it your duty,
And prize 't henceforth above your Ladies beauty.
