They were two deaf mutes, and they loved and they / Resolved to be groom and bride; / And they listened to nothing that any could say, / Nor ever a word replied.
From wedlock when warned by the married men, / Maintain an invincible mind: / Be deaf and dumb until wedded -- and then / Be deaf and dumb and blind.
