When thou art out, or naught would be exact.

No pleasure ever yet received have I;

But take my word, to get it now I'll try.

Gallants are plenty; husbands should have wives;

That, like themselves, lead gay or sober lives.

I PRYTHEE softly, wife, the husband said;

Come, come, sir, leave the tub, there's naught to dread;

When you are out, I'll ev'ry quarter scrape,

Then try if water from it can escape;

I'll warrant it to be as good as nice,
