Howe'er, we wish the whole to be disclosed,

Too much, 'tis said, they must not be exposed.

NOW, neighbours, let us fair arrangement make:

A pig in poke you'd neither give nor take;

Confront these halves in nature's birth-day suit;

To neither, then, will you deceit impute.

The project was most thoroughly approved;

Like inclination both the husbands moved.

ANTOINETTA, said the second spouse,

Has neither ill nor scratch her fears to rouse.
