Heathen mythology, Illustrated by extracts from the most celebrated writers, both ancient and modern

by Various

Love, who saw the whole proceeding,

Would have laughed, but for good breeding;

While old Hymen, who was used to,

Cries like that these dames gave loose to,

'Take back our love-knots,

Take back our love-knots!'

Coolly said, 'There's no returning

Wares on Hymen's hands—Good morning!'"

Moore.
