Wit and Mirth: or Pills to Purge Melancholy, Vol. 6 of 6

by Unknown

HOW happy's the Husband, how happy's the Husband,

Whose Wife has been try'd, has been try'd,

Not damn'd to the Bed, not damn'd to the Bed of an ignorant Bride;

Secure of what's left, secure of what's left, he ne'er misses the rest,

But where there's enough, enough, enough, but where there's enough, supposes a Feast:

So foreknowing the Cheat,

He escapes the Deceit;

And in spight of the Curse he resolves, he resolves to be blest.

And in spight of the Curse he resolves, he resolves to be blest.
