About her clothes one couldn't fault her,Like him, she dressed as taste decreed.But then they led her to the alterAnd never asked if she agreed.The clever husband chose correctlyTo take his grieving bride directlyTo his estate, where first she cried(With God knows whom on every side),Then tossed about and seemed demented;And almost even left her spouse;But then she took to keeping houseAnd settled down and grew contented.Thus heaven's gift to us is this:That habit takes the place of bliss.
