For who imposture can endure, + 

A constant harping on one tune, + 

Serious endeavours to assure + 

What everybody long has known; + 

Ever to hear the same replies + 

And overcome antipathies + 

Which never have existed, e’en + 

In little maidens of thirteen? + 

And what like menaces fatigues, + 

Entreaties, oaths, fictitious fear, + 

Epistles of six sheets or near, + 

Rings, tears, deceptions and intrigues, + 

Aunts, mothers and their scrutiny, + 

And husbands’ tedious amity? + 
