It's base to wed where love rules not,
To join two hearts in one,
E1or WedlOck should be ever planned
As angels would have done.
The contamination of Gods viii
True marriage e'er should be;
It's not the priestly rites performed.
Us love tWlxt thee and me-
And where that love joins not the souls
And ere you many years have lived,
Your sorrows will begin
For WedlOck can not happy be
Unless the soul responds
And strengthens, every passing day,
Loves sacred, holy bonds.
Then how dare We take in our hands
The right to wed with one,
When well we know our hearts will not
Let loves sweet Joy be won
We wrong ourselves, the other. too.
And cause much endless woe
When We viii follow not the patch
Where Cupid bids us go.
No man can join what God will not
BY any priestly rites,
Unholy wedlock and its shame,
The noble soul e'er blightS.
Then let US be content to go
Where love viii sweetly lead.
Then 5oyousness Will fill our souls,
Our hearts ind peace we need.
