Conjugal to Jonathon and Elvira

Like two streams, whose onward courses Mingling in one current blend— Like two waves, whose gentle forces To the ocean’s bosom tend.

Like two rays that kiss each other In the presence of the sun— Like two drops that run together, And forever are but one.

Now your mutual vows be plighted, May your hearts no longer twain— May your spirits be united In an everlasting chain.
