Аноним (2) - Wives by the dozen - текст песни (слова)

"O Death, how thou spoilest the best project of life",
 Said Gabriel, who still, as he buried one wife,
 For the sake of her family married her cousin.
 And then in an honest collateral line
 He still married on 'til his number was nine,
 Full sorry to die 'til he made up his dozen.
