From the New York Gazette, No. 322 . . . [111 lines
addressed to married men by the Petticoat Society of young
women between ages of sixteen and forty followed by]
Were batchelors but wise enough to see
The way to bliss and true felicity,
How soon would they exchange their senseless noise
For prattling girls, and lovely smiling boys;
Who round their table would their praise proclaim,
Maintain their honour, and preserve their name,
Defend their country, and their fame convey
To future generations: thus we pray.
