Says she can’t Love him, such a one as he.
And now desires she may live sep’rately. 
The poor fond Parents to him trudge in haste,
And reprimand him soundly for what’s past. 
He knows no Cause—­Nor thinks he is to blame,
They tell him plainly she shall live with them,
And he allow her what is fit to have,
Which he must yield to if he’ll quiet have.

The Eleventh Comfort, &c.

Another has begun before her Time,
Tasted those joys—­but still conceal’d her Crime
And now her Parents thinks her fit to Wed,
(The Man that has her’s finely brought to Bed,)
Some hopeful Youth of Equal Worth is found,
And soon his Suit with glad Success is crown’d,
The Marriage Articles next agreed,
And the Impostor Virgin sooth’d to Bed;
The Am’rous Bridegroom on the Wanton flies,
Who modestly his first Attempt denys;
Again he moves her, she denys again,
Crys Lord I never shall endure a Man: 
But warmer grown, he rushes on the Bride,
And panting now, is but with Sighs deny’d,
She yields a little to dissemble more,
Knowing the part she’d acted once before: 
Wwhile he good Man, so pleas’d with what he’as done,
Proclaims her Chastity to all the Town.

The Twelfth Comfort, &c.

Some are so fond, so blinded in their Choice, That they are ravish’d with their beautious Prize; In such a case the young unthinking Sot, Boasts what a handsome Genteel Wife he’as got, Doates on her Face, commends her Shape and Air, And thinks her Virtuous beyond compare:  When all the time she plays her Pranks unknown, And with her Gallant rambles up and down; [*?]y, brings him home, while the poor Husband’s sent On some Fools Errand, she has her content:  At length he finds her out, but dare not speak, But bears all calmly for his Honour’s sake.

The Thirteenth Comfort of Matrimony.

This Married to some Beauty of Renown, }
Whose Business often keeps him out of Town; }
But the good Woman cannot lie alone:  }
While the poor Lawyer’s stating o’er the Case,
She finds another to supply his Place;
And proving pregnant, reckons up the Time,
Lest the Sot Husband shou’d suspect her Crime. 
She swallows Drugs and Poysons ev’ry day,
To bring the Child before its time away;
This she performs so often, and is Sick,
That he at length begins to smoak the Trick;
Next time he keeps account, and plains it is,
He swears point-blank the Child is none of his.

The Fourteenth Comfort of Matrimony.
