Because I think I'm just so weak As, some of those fine morrows, To ask you if you'll let me speak My story — and my sorrows : Because the rest's a simple thing, A matter quickly over, A church — a priest — a sigh — a ring — And a chaise and four for Dover !

Fair Cousin mine ! the golden days Of old romance are over ; And minstrels now care naught for bays, Nor damsels f...or a lover ; And hearts are cold, and lips are mute That kindled once with passion, And now we've neither lance nor lute, And tilting's out of fashion. Yet weeping Beauty mourns the time When Love found words in flowers; When softest sighs were breathed in rhyme. And sweetest songs in bowers ; Now wedlock is a sober thing — No more of chains or forges ! — A plain young man — a plain gold ring — The Curate — and St. George's.
