| - | |
| So bluff Sir Leolin gave the bride away | B |
| And when they married her the little church | C |
| Had seldom seen a costlier ritual | D |
| The coach and pair alone were two pound ten | A |
| And two pound ten apiece the wedding cakes | E |
| Three wedding cakes A Cupid poised a top | F |
| Of each hung shivering to the frosted loves | G |
| Of two fond cushats on a field of ice | H |
| As who should say 'I see you ' Such the joy | I |
| When English hearted Edwin swore his faith | J |
| With Mariana of the Moated Grange | K |
| - | |
| For Edwin plump head waiter at The Cock | L |
| Grown sick of custom spoilt of plenitude | M |
| Lacking the finer wit that saith | J |
| 'I wait They come and if I make them wait they go ' | - |
| Fell in a jaundiced humour petulant green | N |
| Watched the dull clerk slow rounding to his cheese | O |
| Flicked a full dozen flies that flecked the pane | P |
| All crystal cheated of the fuller air | Q |
| Blurted a free 'Good day t'ye ' left and right | M |
| And shaped his gathering choler to this head | M |
| - | |
| 'Custom And yet what profit of it all | R |
| The old order changeth yielding place to new | S |
| To me small change and this the Counter change | K |
| Of custom beating on the self same bar | T |
| Change out of chop Ah me the talk the tip | U |
| The would be evening should be mourning suit | M |
| The forged solicitude for petty wants | V |
| More petty still than they all these I loathe | J |
| Learning they lie who feign that all things come | W |
| To him that waiteth I have waited long | X |
| And now I go to mate me with a bride | M |
| Who is aweary waiting even as I ' | - |
| - | |
| But when the amorous moon of honeycomb | Y |
| Was over ere the matron flower of Love | Z |
| Step sister of To morrow's marmalade | M |
| Swooned scentless Mariana found her lord | M |
| Did something jar the nicer feminine sense | A2 |
| With usage being all too fine and large | B2 |
| Instinct of warmth and colour with a trick | C2 |
| Of blunting 'Mariana's' keener edge | D2 |
| To 'Mary Ann' the same but not the same | E2 |
| Whereat she girded tore her crisped hair | Q |
| Called him 'Sir Churl ' and ever calling 'Churl ' | - |
| Drave him to Science then to Alcohol | F2 |
| To forge a thousand theories of the rocks | G2 |
| Then somewhat else for thousands dewy cool | H2 |
| Wherewith he sought a more Pacific isle | I2 |
| And there found love a duskier love than hers | J2 |
