Possibly there are those who never heard OF
marriages and poetry being similarly welded.
Such, however, is the case Poetry and yersif-
cation have become, seemingly, necessary adj
juncts to every we'll conducted wedding, and one
stanza, at least, is due to each couple sent out
to improve and populate the earth. Formerly,
