Thus it will seem you scorn to league

In e'er so harmless an intrigue.

'Tis one thing this, but quite another

If slight flirtations please the mother.

'Twould fill a volume to impart

The intricacies of your art:

Now is the time, I must insist,

For you to play the moralist,

And use, as heretofore, your forces

To favour wedlock—not divorces!
