To a Young Lady

[While scenes of transport every heart inspire]

[Could youth, could innocence, could virtue save]

[Blest Hymen, hail that memorable day]

[If nineteen years of marriage ties]

[My foolish rhymes on wedding days]

[If seven long years of laboring life]

[The ruffian of England with equal remorse]

[Ah, where's my dear Hubby, whom Fate, in its malice]
