A man may marry once without a crime,
But cursed is he who weds a second time. —Cumberland.
Menander. (Book xiii. § 8, p. 895.)
A. While prudence guides, change not, at any rate,
A life of freedom for the married state:
I ventured once to play that desperate game,
And therefore warn you not to do the same.
B. The counsel may be sage which you advance,
But I'm resolved to take the common chance.
