'Do you, William, espouse Kate? '
'Do you, Kate, espouse William? '
would've short'n'd the wedding a tic.

The spiegeltent might be the espiegeltent -
not the tent of mirrors;
the tent of mischief, pranks and frolic.

If you want an 'excuse'
for a rhyme for 'Gascoigne',
opt for 'essoin'.

When dis-esteem enters the house,
dis-espouse, dis-espouse, dis-espouse.
