Where, for divorces, people sue, we know.

The Judges and the Proctors, so devout,

Would, with the culprit, wish to have a bout.

Adultery, tho’ call’d a crying sin,

Without they’re paid, would not be worth a pin:

They’ll sell you licences to get a bride,

And, on complaint, divorces have beside.

O happy land! where such good laws remain,

That you may wed, and be unwed again;

That sacred knot, recorded so on high!
