Amongst the _numeral propositions_ towards a matrimonial _union_ with
your amiable _person_, I hope you’ll not _decline_ the _interjection_ of
my preliminary pretences. I should not wish to be a mere _noun
adjective_ to you in all _cases_, but I _positively_ declare, that
_comparatively_ speaking, I should be _superlatively_ happy to agree
with you in the _subjunctive mood_. I trust you’ll not opiniate me
singular, for desiring to have the _plural_ in my family; I shall
fabricate no _verbal_ oration, to prove how I long to have our
affections in _common of two_: but I presume, that in case of a
_conjunction copulative_, you’ll use no _indicative_ solicitation to be
in the _imperative mood_, as I am determined to be in the _potential
active_, while you are in the _future passive_, or in the _supine_: for
it is the _optative_ of my soul to become your _relative_, by the
_antecedent_ of _regular conjugation_, as this alone can constitute a
_lawful concord_ with the _feminine gender_, and afford us a
_participle_ of _substantive_ happiness. Every _article possessive_ or
_genitive_ shall become a _dative translation_ to you; nothing shall be
_accusative_ against your _government_; and your sweet _nominative_
without a _pronoun_ or even _adverb_ shall be my _vocative_, till death
the great _ablative_ of all living, by the _gradual declention_ of our
corporeal nature, puts a _final termination_ to the _present tense_, and
time, thro’ an _infinite progression_ of ages, may render us
_preterperfect_ in the _future tense_; in the interim, my _principal
part of speech_ in its _primitive_ or _derivative extension_ is, to the
end, that you may put the most charitable _construction_ on this _simple
proposition_, and that your _definitive resolution_ may be _consonant_
to the wishes of your very _indeclinable_ lover
