Poor Solomon must on a red-herring dine;

To buy her fine clothes, and rich tippets of scarlet,

And dress the poor beggar in garbs of a harlot.

If willing with good cheerful neighbours to spend,

Or a convivial hour with some gay social friend;

To Bo——m’s would go, and therein not to be check’d,

Let him shun the hard fate of a husband hen-peck’d.

If he wish not to labour with want and disgrace,

Nor to answer demands which will fly in his face,

Nor would open his purse for the debts of another,
