He.

Your papa has property,

So, my dear, has mine;

You are fond of company

I am fond of wine.

At your wedding shall attend

Al of the elite-

If you wish to change your state

I am at your feet.

 She.

To your pretty offer, sir,

I do not object:

As for love, why that of course

You will not expect.

I must follow every new

Fashion that appears-

Have my own acquaintances,

And my cavaliers.

He.

To your wishes, one and all,

Gladly I agree-

And an equal latitude

You will grant to me.

All my thoughts shall be for you-

That is, understand,

All that are not for my club

And my “four-in-hand”

Both

Then, since we are both agreed,

Let us name the day

That shall see us duly joined

In the usual way.

Then we’ll go as best we can

Down life’s checked course

Till some lucky circumstance

Grants us a divorce.
