Godmothers. (without the wand)

Now it should be taken
as a remark upon his character
that he takes such effort and care
to conceal
his baldness
which is no fault of his
but only Nature's whim.
As for his figure
he is well proportioned
with a stolid girth that close reflects
his standing as a steady townsman
whose opinions carry great weight.
For his worth
it is well over two stone in silver
and half again that much in land.
His beard reflects his wisdom
and if it is somewhat scraggly
it is well greyed
a sign of much experience.
All this to say that,
considering your waist
is your best dowry,
the sir is as well endowed as you
and the match should be made by May
though even a January rush could be managed.
