BEHOLD a Storke, betweene two Torches plac'd, Of milkie hew, with winges abroad displaide; In aunchient time, the marke of wedlock chast, Because this Bird, a deadly foe is said T'Adulterie, and foulest foule Incest, The Vestal maide, the fire beseemeth best. Chast Loue, the band of everlasting Peace, The best content we haue, while here we liue, That blessest Mariage, with thy sweete encrease, And dost a pledge, of that coniunction giue Twixt Soule, and Body, eke the mutual Loue, Between the Church, and her sweete Spouse aboue.

Horat: 1 carm: 13 Foelices ter, et amplius, Quos irrupta tenet copula: nec malis Divulsis quaerimoniis Suprema citius solvet amor die.
