Next to the making matches for herself,

And daughters, brothers, sisters, kith or kin,

Arranging them like books on the same shelf,

There's nothing women love to dabble in

More (like a stock-holder in growing pelf)

Than match-making in general: 't is no sin

Certes, but a preventative, and therefore

That is, no doubt, the only reason wherefore.
