That love and matrimony can combine!

Miss Skylark (singing).

Then “Life let us cherish while yet the taper glows;”

Damper.

Pray stop that lady—let me have repose

To point a moral. (Advancing to the audience.) Ah! I see you two;

Young man desist, you know not what you do;

Take my advice, retract in time, forbear—

You’re making love to that young woman there!
