Epigram 1.
'Tis said, in marriage above all the restThe children of a king find comforts least,
Because without respect of love or hate
They must, and oft be, ruled by the State;
But if contented love, religion's care,
Equality in state, and years declare
A happy match, as I suppose no less,
Then rare and great's Eliza's happiness.
