I Her sons pursue the butterflies	A
Her baby daughter mocks the doves	B
With throbbing coo in his fond eyes	A
She's Venus with her little Loves	B
Her footfall dignifies the earth	C
Her form's the native land of grace	D
And lo his coming lights with mirth	C
Its court and capital her face	D
Full proud her favour makes her lord	E
And that her flatter'd bosom knows	F
She takes his arm without a word	G
In lanes of laurel and of rose	F
Ten years to day has she been his	H
He but begins to understand	I
He says the dignity and bliss	J
She gave him when she gave her hand	I
She answering says he disenchants	J
The past though that was perfect he	K
Rejoins the present nothing wants	J
But briefness to be ecstasy	K
He lauds her charms her beauty's glow	L
Wins from the spoiler Time new rays	J
Bright looks reply approving so	L
Beauty's elixir vit praise	J
Upon a beech he bids her mark	M
Where ten years since he carved her name	N
It grows there with the growing bark	M
And in his heart it grows the same	N
For that her soft arm presses his	J
Close to her fond maternal breast	O
He tells her each new kindness is	J
The effectual sum of all the rest	O
And whilst the cushat mocking coo'd	O
They blest the days they had been wed	O
At cost of those in which he woo'd	O
Till everything was three times said	O
And words were growing vain when Briggs	J
Factotum Footman Butler Groom	P
Who press'd the cyder fed the pigs	J
Preserv'd the rabbits drove the brougham	Q
And help'd at need to mow the lawns	J
And sweep the paths and thatch the hay	R
Here brought the Post down Mrs Vaughan's	J
Sole rival but for once to day	R
Scarce look'd at for the Second Book	S
Till this tenth festival kept close	J
Was thus commenced while o'er them shook	S
The laurel married with the rose	J
	-
II	-
The pulse of War whose bloody heats	J
Sane purposes insanely work	T
Now with fraternal frenzy beats	J
And binds the Christian to the Turk	T
And shrieking fifes	J
	-
	-
III	-
But with a roar	U
In rush'd the Loves the tallest roll'd	O
A hedgehog from his pinafore	U
Which saved his fingers Baby bold	O
Touch'd it and stared and scream'd for life	V
And stretch'd her hand for Vaughan to kiss	J
Who hugg'd his Pet and ask'd his wife	V
Is this for love or love for this	J
But she turn'd pale for lo the beast	O
Found stock still in the rabbit trap	W
And feigning so to be deceased	O
And laid by Frank upon her lap	W
Unglobed himself and show'd his snout	O
And fell scatt'ring the Loves amain	X
With shriek with laughter and with shout	O
And peace at last restored again	X
The Bard who this untimely hitch	Y
Bore with a calm magnanimous	J
The hedgehog roll'd into a ditch	Y
And Venus sooth'd proceeded thus	J
