Lines
Written in Harrow Churchyard, on the occasion of a wedding being delayed by the absence of the officiating minister.
Mr. Bruce, Mr. Bruce,When the matrimonial noose
You ought here at Harrow to be tying,
If you choose to ride away
As you know you did to-day,
No wonder bride and bridegroom should be crying.
It's a very great abuse,
Mr. Bruce, Mr. Bruce!
And you're quite without excuse,
And of very little use
As a curate,
Mr. Bruce!
