The ladies will all do the same, I suppose;
Their days of subserviency now will be past,
For all will “speak first” as they always did last!
Since the Queen has no equal, “obey” none she need,
So, of course, at the altar, from such vow she’s freed;
And the women will all follow suit, so they say—
“Love, honour,” they’ll promise, but never—“obey.”
Our cups to the dregs, &c., &c.
“Those will now wed who ne’er wedded before—
Those who always wedded will now wed the more;”
