Marriage.

Were I, who am not of the Romish tribe,

The number of their sacraments to fix,

I speak sincerely, without fee, or bribe,

Instead of seven, there should be but six.

All men of sense tautology disclaim,

Marriage and penance always were the same.


Frank carves very ill, yet will palm all the meats;

He eats more than six, and drinks more than he eats.
