Nor Wives nor Husbands floated in their Heads; }
And flowers were flowers alone, and were not bridal beds. }
Polygamy in all its various kind
Was never suffer’d to disturb the Mind;
Nor could she in a simple Daisy see
(Ah, Crime!) superfluous polygamy; 810
In a bright Sunflower she had not the pain
To find this same polygamy again;
Nor could a Marigold the more approve
To find it there was necessary Love.
