Which?

(Read first and third line, and second and fourth alternately.)

‘Twould free me from this care and pain
To lead a wedded life with thee;
To never see thy face again
Would be the deepest misery.

My life will be a dreary, course
Without thee, maiden, for my wife;
If thou art mine for good or worse,
I then might lead a happy life.

I vow, if thou wilt not refuse,
T’ indulge thy whims, and wait on thee;
T’insult, maltreat thee, and abuse,
Would go against the grain with me.

Enough; my fondest wish is this:
With the Life’s joys and ills to share;
To live apart for ever, miss,
Would be a lot I could not bear.

Edward S. Sorenson, Casino
