Мэтью Прайор (Matthew Prior)




Текст оригинала на английском языке

Wives by the Dozen


O Death how thou spoil'st the best project of life,
Said Gabriel, who still as he bury'd one wife,
For the sake of her family married her cousin;
And thus in an honest collateral line
He still married on till his number was nine,
Full sorry to die till he made up his dozen.
