 [2] THE CONTENTED WIFE. I Have have a wife this dezen of long years, And bliſs be the time I did atry. I never fell out with my love in my life, If he at the ale-houſe did tarry i I light up my candle and go to my bed, He comes when he pleaſes, no more iş ſaid, He ſleeps till he's ſober and ſettles his head, Girls miud' this when you do marry. Yrile in the morning before he's awake, And then I do make him a fue; For breakfaſt I get him ſome chocolate bot, Or any thing elſe he defires ; He gives me a kiſs, and to werk he does go, I never fey, Husband, Why do you lo We live like two turtles, no ſorrow we know, Girls mind this when you do marry se on Saturday's night his money fall there, Wczak the lefe, ſerve us on Sundays He erics my dear, I'll do better next week, And go to work early on Monday. Our children obey with ſubmiſſion and fear; We have no words beu my love and my dear, we're bean merried theſe dezen of loug years, Girls mind this when you do marry IF-ypu here bad buſbande it's in vain to fcold, Ill words will no'er niake them better, But keep yourſelves frec from contention & ſtrife, Let your neighbours not know the matter. And be but contented though never ſo poor, And GOD, will daily increaſe your ſtore, So that you may drive the wolſe from the door, Girls mind this when you do marry.
