With one another we've been vying,

Has he not told us for the days

Of rest to come he ne'er ceased sighing?

And when, with pomp of high degree,

Your marriage vows and troth you plighted,

Why, everyone was glad to see

Art and Adventure thus united!

"To those about to Marry.—Don't!"

So Mr. Punch did once advise us.

Spread the advice? I'm sure you won't.
