Married, and done as other Ladies do;
Attended only to the poor Concerns
Which any Woman without Genius learns;
Govern’d her Household in a decent Way,
And taught her Nurslings how to read and pray.
Had she, the Mistress of a mighty Mind,
Her Pride to this and to her House confined,
Known Pig from Veal, consulted with her Cook,
And only read, not criticised, a Book—
Such is the World, it had the Life approv’d,
