First Line: From marrying in haste, and repenting at leisure
Last Line: Libera nos.
Subject(s): Marriage; Weddings; Husbands; Wives
From marrying in haste, and repenting at leisure;
Not liking the person, yet liking his treasure:
Libera nos.
From a mind so disturbed that each look does reveal it;
From abhorring one's choice, and not sense to conceal it:
Libera nos.
From a husband to govern, and buy him his wit;
From a sullen, ill-natured and whimsical cit:
Libera nos.
