[Original]

THE change of food enjoyment is to man;

In this, t'include the woman is my plan.

I cannot guess why Rome will not allow

Exchange in wedlock, and its leave avow;

Not ev'ry time such wishes might arise,

But, once in life at least, 'twere not unwise;

Perhaps one day we may the boon obtain;

Amen, I say: my sentiments are plain;
