MARRIAGE.
Reading edition
How many in the married state we find
Wedded in person, but divorced in mind!
Unnatural union! fraught with as much dread
As when the living chain’d were to the dead
By stern Mezentius; yet less cruel he,—
As many slaves of Hymen will agree,—
For but one victim suffer’d from the chain,
While wedlock gives the two an equal pain.
