Upon the Fairest Boughs..

A fair brother the youngest of siblings due to be wed For his bride, a young virgin , pure , blue eyed and fair , Prepares her white wedding gown to walk down the isle , Decides for the occasion to dye her hair fair hair black. My lady , my Queen, I pray , take my hand with delight. Today you are my bride, tomorrow you shall be my wife. Oh most noble sir arise now kiss and bond this treaty After the ceremony , the guests gathered and feasted Speeches and toasts ,trembling lips kissed her pale hand My eye shall not rove , take my heart and love me sweetly Her rosy lips and cheeks promised by thee to forever stand. Weeping and let out a cry cupid hath stung her inner thigh. What strange effect the nature of love has on the passions. Fair princess, I promise thee, wedlock shall suit thee well.
