Your marriage-arranging: see that it be not a bad arranging ! Ye have arranged too hastily: so there followeth therefrom⁠—marriage-breaking!

And better marriage-breaking than marriage-bending, marriage-lying!⁠—Thus spake a woman unto me: “Indeed, I broke the marriage, but first did the marriage break⁠—me!”

The badly paired found I ever the most revengeful: they make everyone suffer for it that they no longer run singly.

On that account want I the honest ones to say to one another: “We love each other: let us see to it that we maintain our love! Or shall our pledging be blundering?”

—“Give us a set term and a small marriage, that we may see if we are fit for the great marriage! It is a great matter always to be twain.”
