Poem Text

Introduction
Epithalamion is a poem of 433 iambic lines of varying lengths,
divided into twenty-three stanzas and an envoi—twenty-four sections in
all. The title means, literally, “at the nuptial chamber,” from the Greek
(epi and thalanos); the poem celebrates the twenty-four hours of the poet’s
wedding day. The poem is written in the first person, and much of it is
addressed to the Muses, nymphs, other bridal attendants, and wedding
guests. The twenty-four sections do not correspond precisely to the
twenty-four hours of the wedding day, yet the poem moves
chronologically through the entire day.
