pleafure, how the bridegroom, unwil-

ling to pay the money for nothing gets

up and dances to the mufic; and this muft

be a great pleafure. for all the are

pleafed at once.

Now the next day is fpent in being

treated by the bridemen at a tavern ; and

there can be now room for nothing but

pleafure.

The pleafures of the wedding being

over—how ! over did I fay ? I beg your

pardon ; they are fo far from being over,

that they continue while they live toge-

ther. And therefore I fhould fay, being

thus begun, they are attended by another

pleafure and that is houfe-keeping; now

time begins to jog the bridegroom by the

elbow and tell him he ought to mind

his ; far bags will from grow

empty unlefs filled again.—And what is

his pleafure now, but the bufinefs of

houfekeeping, and to get all things for

it. He that goes a borrowing goes for-

rowing as the old proverb fays. And

fure the wisdom is in the ill condition

who is obliged to borrow everything fhe

wants.
