MARRIAGE UNEQUAL by JOHANN WOLFGANG VON GOETHE

First Line: ALAS, THAT EVEN IN A HEAVENLY MARRIAGE
Last Line: WHILST CUPID EVERMORE REMAINS THE CHILD.
Subject(s): CUPID; MARRIAGE; EROS; WEDDINGS; HUSBANDS; WIVES;

ALAS, that even in a heavenly marriage,
The fairest lots should ne'er be reconcil'd!
Psyche wax'd old, and prudent in her carriage,
Whilst Cupid evermore remains the child.
