matrimony. 
When on thy bosom I recline, 
Enraptured still to call thee mine. 
To call the mine for life, 
I glory in the sacred ties. 
Which modern wits and foote despise, 
Of husband and of wife. 
Have I a wish ?—’tis all her own; 
All hers and mine are rolled in one 
Our hearts are so entwined, 
That like the ivy round the tree, 
Bound up in closest amity, 
’Tis death to be disjoined.
