Clubb, with these notions, cast his eye around;

And one so easy soon a partner found.

The lady chosen was of good repute;

Meekness she had not, and was seldom mute;

Though quick to anger, still she loved to smile,

And would be calm if men would wait a while:

She knew her duty, and she loved her way,

More pleased in truth to govern than obey;

She heard her priest with reverence, and her spouse

As one who felt the pressure of her vows;
