Besides, within the Alps, to every woman,

(Although, God knows, it is a grievous sin,)

'Tis, I may say, permitted to have two men;

I can't tell who first brought the custom in,

But "Cavalier Serventes" are quite common,

And no one notices or cares a pin;

An we may call this (not to say the worst)

A second marriage which corrupts the first.
