O this wedlock must sure be an excellent thing,
but I must not get laughing at that.
At length to his wishes were I to comply,
as at length I ⟨seem⟩ to incline.
But if on his promises I may rely,
not to check the good humour of thine;
to church with young Colin I'd soon trip away,
and answer ⟨all⟩ questions quite pat,
When I com to the critical word, call’d Obey,
la; if I should get laughing at that.
FINIS.
