Christopher Marlowe, Hero and Leander part 2, subpart sestyad 5 On his right arme did hang a skarlet vaile, And from his shoulders to the ground did traile, On either side, Ribands of white and blew; With the red vaile he hid the bashfull hew Of the chast Bride, to shew the modest shame, In coupling with a man should grace a dame.

Christopher Marlowe, Hero and Leander part 2, subpart sestyad 5 Herewith the amorous spirit that was so kinde To Teras haire, and combd it downe with winde, Still as it Comet-like brake from her braine, Would needes have Teras gone, and did refraine To blow it downe: which staring up, dismaid The timorous feast, and she no longer staid: But bowing to the Bridegrome and the Bride, Did like a shooting exhalation glide Out of their sights: the turning of her back Made them all shrieke, it lookt so ghastly black.

A year of American travel. By Jessie Benton Fre´mont page 136 The bride sat alone on her horse, under an arch of flowers and ribbons, which was carried by a groomsman on either side, the ends of the arch resting on their saddles, and on either side of them her bride-maids; the bridegroom, on an exceptionally fine horse, surrounded by his friends; and then the rest of the company, most of the men riding singly, but many riding as I have described, with a girl on the saddle--a bright glittering mass of ribbons, flowers, bright beads, gold-lace; the women in satin dresses and slippers, the men in the dress of the time in California, which is exactly that we see in Spanish pictures--short velvet jackets covered with braid and gold embroidery, the velvet trousers open over full white drawers, while a string of bells down the seam jingled even more than do the bangles of ladies in church.

Between the gates. By Benjamin F. Taylor page 18 When the leaf of the mulberry is spun into thread, Then the spinner is shrouded and the weaver is dead; And that shroud is unwound by the fingers of girls, And the films of pale gold clasp the spool as it whirls, As it ripens and rounds Like some exquisite fruit In the tropical bounds, In air sweet as a lute, Till the shroud and the tomb, Dyed in rainbow and bloom, Glisten forth from the loom Into garments of pride, Into robes for a bride, Into lace-woven air That an angel might wear.
