declare war upon those who uphold them.6 b..
satisfied that the present Executive cannot fafll
the expectations of those who placed him IN Of

For though distant afar, he would smile on her yet
Save when Earih the fond couple divided!

So long was postponed their connection!
That the Bridegroom anxious 'twere vain to deny
Since the heat of his passion pervadedthe sky;

The match was deemed, somehow, unequal;

Saturn sent with reluctance, his Ring TO the fau,
By the hands of a trust worthy comet.
Only one dim, pale planet, of planets the least,
Condescenled these nuptials 10 honoii
And that seemed like skulking away TO the Easti
Some assert il was heTcury acting as priests
Some Ie.t,s, peeping; shame on her!
