The Mental and Personal Qualifications of a Good Wife.
  . . . [20 lines]
  A more than a tolerable good voice, and a little ear for
music, and capability of singing a canzonet, or a song (in
company) but no peculiar and intimate acquaintance with
minims, crotchets, quavers, &c.
  No enthusiasm for the guitar.
  Ready at her needle, but more devoted to plain-work than
to fine.
  . . . [6 lines]
  Fonder of country dances than Minuets.
  . . . [7 more lines, signed]  Solus et Innuptus
