With these last two notices came wedding cakes. To the parties --
May wedlock be sweet
May joy be complete
May life be replete
With love luck and inpati__
May they always beat
Their neighbors feet
Raising children and wheat,
And that sort of thing -
For the way they did treat
Printers with cake to eat
Is the song we sing – by Ging!
