Shell-sandwich a file in 2 variable strings

How would I prepend a variable string to a file then append a variable
string to the same file?

The closest I can get is

do shell script "echo " & quoted form of startHTML & " " & htmlFilePOSIX & "
" & quoted form of endHTML & ">" & iPathPOSIX

But in this case the path of htmlFile is written instead of the file's text.
Maybe a variation of "cat" will work here, or piped commands.
