TO BATCHELOR'S IDEA OF MARRIAGE.  Addressed to a lady.
Why lies that frown upon Belinda's brow?
Is it a crime connubial joys to show?
Or are those lips, that breath perfume, design'd
Distant, and only so, to glad mankind?
. . . [64 lines]
To gaze!---to kiss!---with little hands to play!
To trifle!---dance!---and sport the time away!
