A SONG, in "The Way to Keep Him".
Ye fair married dames, who so often deplore,
That a lover once bless'd is a lover no more;
Attend to my counsel, nor blush to be taught,
That prudence must cherish what beauty has caught.
. . . [4 lines]
Use the man that you wed like your favorite guittar,
Tho' music in both, they are both apt to jar;
How tuneful and soft from a delicate touch,
Not handled to roughly, not play'd on too much.
