This delay he says augurs nothing good for our my happiness

The bridegrooms feelings began to turn cold
Till you are dressed, he said, I will become grow old
If you do so little care by your delay now try my impatience
There will be no I augur little happiness hereafter
Here he ended – ad and states speaking to none
Called for his carriage and drove off.

We cannot praise this hastiness and impatience
In a young man, who will marry
The hurry is to here to no purpose
Had he waited somewhat longer
And not esteemed his time too high
He would have been married.
For at 3 o'clock in the morning
The rea Lady was dressed; finished her toilette
And was ready to appear before the Altar.

Should you like to translate this Tale, the freer the
your translation will be, the more I think it will
please the reader. I have only the outline of
it; – the dry contents but not the comic humouristic
spirit of the original, adorned with an easy style
and rhyme by Mr. Niemcewicz. It is a rough
block that awaits your chisel, and like Pygmaleon's
statue your reviving spirit. I thought it
will perhaps do well for your collection, to
give it variety. It exhibits besides a
historical pictures of manners, which makes
it valuable.
