To all, and claims attention from her friends,

When they engage the tongue, the eye, the ear,

Reply when listening, and when speaking hear:

The ready converse knows no dull delays,

“But double are the pains, and double be the praise.”

Yet not to those alone who bear command

Heaven gives a heart to hail the marriage band;

Among their servants, we the pairs can show,

Who much to love and more to prudence owe:

Reuben
