And embracing her husband (as is usual with brides)

Mrs. AZIZ embraced his religion besides.

So our tears were all wasted, our threats all in vain,

We can now feel quite calm and collected again.

At the fate of the lady we all should rejoice,

She is happy with AZIZ, the man of her choice.

Good luck to the bridegroom! Good luck to the bride!

Good luck to the knot they have hastily tied!

With all due respect, let us venture to say

That we hope from her Kurd she will not run away!
