42. Epithalamium

JUNO
Thrice happy Lovers, may you be
For ever, ever free,
From that tormenting Devil, Jealousie.
From all that anxious Care and Strife,
That attends a married Life:

Be to one another [bad word] 
Kind to her as she to you,
And since the Errors of this Night are past,
May he be ever Constant, she for ever Chast.

The Machine ascends. After Juno’s Song, Oberon asks to hear the Plaint of Laura for her departed Love.
