If you intend marrying for love, pay
your addresses to the lady herself; if
for legacies, court these who are to
leave them) and if for connexion,
court her family.
If you marry young, your children
will be your rivals in your pleasures
if yotr marry old, they will be your
masters in your "decline.
If. you know not what to do with
yourself, marry the handsomest lady
that yiu can, upon the shortest ac
quaintance; and if you do not find it
out- she. will leach you.-....
A lady who takes no care of her
own person before marriage, will take
as little of her household after.
If your lady is fond of play, you
must submit to two losses your own
money and her temper.
' If you wish .to have a dirty and
uncomfortable house, marry a hdv
whom all the world praises .for. her
.talents. , .,
Second marriages are not always
like second thoughts.
If your wife is continually telling
you that the is miserable, and must
leave you, affect to leave her, and she
will follow you to the world's end.
