The Brides Good-morrow . To a pleasant new Tune .

THe night is passed & joyfull day appeareth most cleare on every side . With pleasant musick we therefore salute you , hand good morrow Mistris Bride : From sleepe and slumber now awake you out of your bridegroome stayeth at home : Whose fancy favour , & affection still doth stand fired on thee alone : Dresse you in your best at ●ay , This must be your wedding day , God almighty send you happy ioy : In health and wealth to keep you still , ● And if it be his blessed will , God keepe you safe from sorrow and annoy This day is honour now bronght into thy bosome and comfort to thy heart : For God hath sent you a friend for to defend you from sorrow , care and smart : In health & sicknes for thy comfort day & night right , be in appointed and brought . Whose love & liking is most constant sure and then love ye him as ye ought : Now you have your hearts desire , And the thing you did require , God almighty send you happy ioy : In health and wealth to keepe you still , And if it be your blessed will , God keepe you safe from sorrow and annoy . There is no treasure the which may be compared unto a faithfull friend , Gold soone decayeth and worldly consumeth , and wasteth in the winde , But lake once planted in a perfect & pure minde indureth weale and woe : The frownes of fortune come they never so unkinde cannot the same overthrowe . A bit of bread is better cheare , Where loue and friendship doth appeare , then dainty dishes stuffed full of strife : For where the heart is cloyd with care , Sower is the sweetest fare : and death far better then so bad a life , Sweet Brid then may you full well contended stay you , and in your heart reioyce : Sith God was guider both of your heat & fancy and maker of your choice . And he that preferd you to this happie state will not behold you decay , Nor see you lack reliefe or help in any rate , if you his preceps obay To those that ask it faithfully , The Lord will no good thing deny , this comfort in the Scriptures may you finde , Then let no worldly griefe and care , Vexe your heart with foule dispaire , which doth declare the unbeleeuing minde , All things are ready and euery whit prepared to beare you company . Your friends and parents do give their due attendance together courtously : The house is brest and garnisht for your sake , with flowers gallant and green , A solem feast your comely cooks do ready make where all your friends will he seen , Young men and maids do ready stand , With sweet Rosemary in their hand , a perfect token of your virgins life : To wait upon you they intend , Unto the Church to make an end : and God make thee a ioyfull wedded wife . FINIS .
