«Как он, она была одета

Всегда по моде и к лицу;

Но, не спросясь её совета,

Девицу повезли к венцу» (2, XXXI, 50). 


“About her clothes one couldn’t fault her;

Like him, she dressed as taste decreed.

But then they led her to the altar

And never asked if she agreed” (Chapter 2, Stanza 31, Page 50).
