Matthew Prior. Dialogues of the Dead and Other Works | ||
Gabriel and his Wives.
An Epigram.
I
O death how thou spoil'st the best projects of life,Said Gabriel, who still as he bury'd One wife,
For the sake of her family marry'd her cousin;
II
And thus in an honest collateral line,He still marry'd on till his number was Nine,
Full sorry to die till he made up his Dozen.
