On the Wedding of an Akronaut

Akronaut, you’re fairly caught,
  Despite your bubble’s leaven:
Out of the skies a lady’s eyes
  Have brought you down to Heaven!

No more, no more you’ll freely soar
  Above the grass and gravel:
Henceforth you’ll walk—and she will chalk
  The line that you’re to travel!
