Vow to Get a Wife in a Married-Heart Scheme
A man recounts a mishap filled tale of pursuing matrimony through bribery and flattery. He narrates his status as a bachelor wandering from Harrisburg to Saratoga and falling for a Boston heiress. After failed direct attempts, he befriends her jealous suitor to gain access and plots via poetry to win her over. The piece satirizes early seduction schemes and social maneuvering.
