A man so endowed with every perfection,

That even mamma no sort of objection

Could find to my lover.

We married, the horror of all to endure!

Somewhat of a hubbub was kicked up, be sure;

There was cake to be cut and evenly lie,

And white satin ribbon in bow knots to tie,

And notes to be written.

And dresses sent out and brought home,

And callers unwelcome would come,
