A NEW LITANY, OCCASIONED BY AN INVITATION TO A WEDDING by ELIZABETH THOMAS

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:
@3Libera nos@1.

From a mind so disturbed that each look does reveal it;
From abhorring one's choice, and not sense to conceal it:
@3Libera nos@1.

From a husband to govern, and buy him his wit;
From a sullen, ill-natured and whimsical cit:
@3Libera nos@1.
