My daughter needs her mother’s care;
And if this couple young be wise,
Their life they’ll let me supervise.
For I can show the wife the way
To make the servants her obey,
Nor fail the husband’s acts to see,
And rob him of his midnight key,
Improve his faults with frown and snub,
Insist he should give up his club;
And if he’s an obedient boy,
