Four Evenings

Upon the four Shall I open a door? Unfold a rug to the madness of your meaning? Secure a beau Without being slow Oh dispositions And felicity Sufficiently unguarded Unfolded and regarded In four evenings Is simply retarded. Vexation is reason to lose a fix or fancy to some pansy Acting by design to confine me to conceal the matter That four evenings gives mischief enough time to be well married Dear Charlotte, you’ve buried your heart.

*Further Note: This poem was inspired by the novel, "Pride and Prejudice," by Jane Austen. Chapter 6 centers on dialogue between Elizabeth and her best friend Charlotte, who believes that falling in love is not necessary to secure a husband. This conversation is sparked by the attraction arousing between Mr. Bingley and the shy Jane, who have only been acquainted for four evenings. Charlotte does end up marrying without love, and this is important to understand to truly appreciate the poem.
