On the Wedding of an Aeronaut

Aeronaut, you’re fairly caught,

Despite your bubble’s leaven:

Out of the skies a lady’s eyes

Have brought you down to Heaven!

No more, no more you’ll freely soar

Above the grass and gravel:

Henceforth you’ll walk⁠—and she will chalk

The line that you’re to travel!
