ON TAKING A WIFE, by FRANCOIS DE MAUCROIX Poet's Biography First Line: Doubtless, my friend, much good I see Last Line: To ponder on it all my days. Subject(s): Marriage | ||||||||
DOUBTLESS, my friend, much good I see In the proposal which you bring; But let us in no hurry be, To take a wife's a solemn thing, Which ripe and anxious thought should own. Wise people, whose advice I praise, Have told me it were sagely done To ponder on it all my days. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SHE WANTS THE RING LIKE by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA A BLESSING FOR A WEDDING by JANE HIRSHFIELD A SUITE FOR MARRIAGE by DAVID IGNATOW ADVICE TO HER SON ON MARRIAGE by MARY BARBER THE RABBI'S SON-IN-LAW by SABINE BARING-GOULD KISSING AGAIN by DORIANNE LAUX SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY: MRS.
