[Report on an unhappy marriage]
Be this a fair warning to your sex!  Be cautious whom ye
wed; and bear constantly in memory the remark of Hamlet on
the marriage of his Mother to his late Father's Brother, 
"As virtue never can be moved
"Tho' lewdness court her in the shape of heaven, 
"So vice, tho' to a radiant angel linked
"Will fly the charms of the celestial bed
"And prey on garbage"
