To wed, mankind the priest trepann'd,
By fome fly fallacy,

And difobey'd God's great command,
Increase and multiply.

You fay that love's a crime; content:
Yet this allow you must,

More joy's in heav'n if one repent,
Than over ninety juft.

Sin then, dear girl, for heaven's fake,
Repent and be forgiven;

Blefs me, and by repentance make
A holy day in heaven.
