And thus our several natures sweetly blent,

We’d live and love together, until death

Should decompose the fleshy tertium quid,

Leaving our souls to all eternity

Amalgamated. Sweet, thy name is Briggs

And mine is Johnson. Wherefore should not we

Agree to form a Johnsonate of Briggs?

We will. The day, the happy day is nigh,

When Johnson shall with beauteous Briggs combine.

A Wayward Life.
