Said, Lord have mercy on us is not there.
[115] Houses visited by the plague were marked by a cross chalked on the door, and also the words, "Lord have mercy on us."
[72.]A Man there was, who liv'd a merry life,
Till in the end he tooke him to a Wife;
One that no image was (for shee could speake)
And now and then her husbands costrell[116] breake:
So fierce she was and furious, as in summe,
She was an arrant Devill of her tongue.
This drove the poore man to a discontent,
And oft, and many times did he repent
