THE Happy Marriage.

Inscribed to Nathaniel Oldham, Esq;
Thrice blissful Wedlock, where a beauteous Wife
Kindly contributes to a social Life;
Where Home is made delightful, where each Friend
His Option and Her Conduct must commend.
Such, (Oldham!) is thy Choice, thy Partner such,
She can't be prais'd or Thou approv'd too much.
