And alfo two fons, who danced with their mothers; Three fifters there were, and danc’d with their brothers:Two uncles vouch’d faf’d with nieces to dance, With nephews to jig it, it pleafed two aunts. Three huihands would .dance with none but their wives,(As bent fo to do the reft of their lives.)The grand-daughter chofe the jolly grand-fon; And bride (he would dance with bridegroom or none.A company choice, their number to fix,1 told them all o’er, and found them but fix.All honeft and true, from inceft quite free,Their marriages good; pray how could that be ?Ogr A Jolution is requeued.•—o©-
