I '11 be a wraith, and take the funeral pall To catch the widow-bride in, if she fall. " I will not go ! I do not choose to go ! I '11 be no party to this woeful fun, — This widow throwing off her weeds of woe. Ere yet her husband 's cold, for this new one ; This widower with a living wife undone ! " The Dominie was glad to be released. But felt the shadow of prophetic fears. Which fall upon the greatest and the least ; Besides, he knew his wife, these many years. Had other dreams than those wh...ich fancy rears. THE WEDDING. 147 But soon his journey drove the dream away, While in his mind he thought Rip's history o'er : And he had known the Captain many a day ; And all seemed clearer as he thought the more ; And he passed on undoubting, as before. Leaving his home, he left all care behind, Full sure 't would not take Avings, but wait him there ; And shadows fled before his sunny mind, While conning o'er, in brisk and wintry air, His marriage ceremony quaint and rare. At length arrived, he found the two together, — Van Bigham and Van Horn.
