Tomorrow is the marriage day
Language: English
Tomorrow is the marriage day Of Mopius and fair Philliday; Come shepherds, bring your garlands gay. If love lie in so foul a nest, And foulness on so fair a breast, What lover may not hope the best? O do not weep, fair Bellamour; Though he be gone, there's many more, For love has many loves in store.
