Last Line: A MAN SHOULD THINK ON 'T - ALL HIS LIFE
Subject(s): MARRIAGE;WOMEN; WEDDINGS;HUSBANDS;WIVES;
Sir, you are prudent, good and wise,
I own and thank you from my heart;
And much approve what you advise,
But let me think before I start.
For folks well able to discern,
Who know what 'tis to take a wife,
Say 'tis a case of such concern
A man should think on 't—all his life.
