THE BATCHELOR'S IDEA OF MARRIAGE.
(From the British Magazine.)
Why lies that frown upon Belinda's brow?
Is it a crime connubial joys to show?
Or are those lips, that breath perfume, design'd
Distant, and only so, to glad mankind?
. . . [60 lines]
To gaze!---to kiss!---with little hands to play!
To trifle!---dance!---and sport the time away!
. . . [28 more lines]
