Here is a case unprecedented!
Here are a King and Queen ill-starred!
Ever since marriage was first invented
Never was known a case so hard!

I may be said to have been bisected,

Through a calamity unexpected
I am divisible into three!

O moralists all,
How can you call
Marriage a state of unitee,
When excellent husbands are bisected,
Wives divisible into three?
O moralists all,
How can you call
Marriage a state of unitee,
Ah! of unitee!
Moralists all,
How can you call
Marriage a state of unitee!
Moralists all,

Call marriage a state of union true,
One-third of myself is married to half of ye
or you!
Call marriage a state of union true,
When half of myself has married two-thirds of ye
or you!
