Vaughan Williams later recast it a cantata, "Epithalamion" (1957). The meeting led eventually to their collaboration on the choral work "Epithalamion". In "Epithalamion", it is a bad omen. The marriage itself was celebrated in "Epithalamion". The Epithalamion written in their honor by Claudian survives. The epithalamion written for the occasion by Stilicho's court poet Claudian survives. Epithalamion is a poem celebrating a marriage. The poem is often grouped with Spenser's poem about his own marriage, the "Epithalamion". Four years later, in 1595, Spenser published "Amoretti and Epithalamion". "Epithalamion" is similar to "Amoretti". Epithalamion is the ultimate ode to a bride Elizabeth and is Spenser's great love story. E.E.Cummings' Epithalamion consists of three seven octave parts, and includes numerous references to ancient Greece.
