Unwise, he peradventure shall essay

The sweets of independency for once—

Waive its advantage on his wedding-night:

Fool, only to resume it, night the next,

And never part companionship again.

Since, with advancing years, night's solace soon

Intrudes upon the daybreak dubious life

Persuades it to appear the thing it is

Half-sleep; and so, encroaching more and more,

It lingers long past the abstemious meal
