The BEAUTIES of BATH.

So to raise up the head of poor half-martyr'd Hymen,
My associate Robert will dare Habit's crimen;
In God's name be it so—now to strengthen your wishes,
I will give to your sense some of Nature's best dishes;
Resistless morçeaus—for she toils to preserve 'em,
And sends Wit to dress 'em, for such—as deserve 'em.
Why a man may not wed, there are few who can tell him,
Why he may, there are millions who pant to impel him.

114

“Two happy days in marriage are allow'd,
A Wife in wedding sheets, and in—her shroud;
Then why should such a state be call'd accurst,
Since the last day's as happy as the first.”
