ON TAKING A WIFE, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Doubtless, my friend, much good I see
Last Line: To ponder on it all my days.
Subject(s): Marriage


DOUBTLESS, my friend, much good I see
In the proposal which you bring;
But let us in no hurry be,
To take a wife's a solemn thing,
Which ripe and anxious thought should own.
Wise people, whose advice I praise,
Have told me it were sagely done
To ponder on it all my days.
