Fragment #30

#30
O night divine, the night Hymennios
Joins you to your wife, the stars like
Diamonds sparkle for your happiness
          As love is the Queen of the Night

Girls will leave the bride alone but linger
On the periphery all night long
So they might sing of the love between you and the bride
          With violets in her lap

Wake! And go call Demetrious and Marsyas
And all the young men so that they may join the girls in song
No more than the bird with piercing voice sings out
          Shall we sleep on this fabulous flight
