Of This Ingenious Comedy, The WEDDING: To Mr. James Shirley, The Author
The bonds are equal, and the marriage fit,
Where judgment is the bride, the husband wit.
Wit hath begot, and judgment hath brought forth,
A noble issue of delight and worth,
Grown in this Comedy to such a strength
Of sweet perfection, as that not the length
Of days, nor rage of malice, can have force
To sue a nullity, or work divorce
Between this well-trimm'd Wedding and loud Fame,
Which shall in every age renew thy name.

To sue a nullity, or work divorce
Between this well-trimm'd Wedding and loud Fame,
Which shall in every age renew thy name.
