AN ACROSTIC 
 
 On the Marriage of Mr. 'William Larkin, of Great Totham, to 
 Miss Phoebe Fuller, of Kelvedon. 
 
 “hail, wedded love!” 
 
 F...RE8H praises now to Hymen yield, for such are justly due; 
 
 : *L...o! light again his flaming torch at Totham’s fane him view. 
 
 U.,.nited by his gen’rous aid, in triumph, we’ve been marking 
 . A happy pair depart from thence— a Fuller and a Larkin . 
 i i’ght is the link by Hymen forged— less cumbrous than a feather; 
 
 : R.!.eproach who would him who thus still so sweetly binds togetherl- 
 i,...ife, hut for the joys of nuptial love, would be at best but dark; 
 
 : K...ind Fate, therefore, such gloom to chase, bestow d that glowing spark! 
 E ’er may our pair be found with those who bless that happy hour 
 : ‘i'...n which commenced that epoch fair that Hymen makes his dower! 
 
 B eblest by Fortune may they be whilst time doth them effect. 
 
 Ne’er ceasing, too, from all around, to win yet more respect.
