ADVICE TO A YOUNG LADY, LATELY MARRIED. By an unmarried
Lady.
Being very proper for every married man to present to his
wife and daughters, and the batchelors to their mistresses.
Hear, Peggy, since the single state
You've left, and chose yourself a mate;
Since metamorphos'd to a wife;
And bliss or woe's insur'd for life.
A friendly muse the way would shew,
To gain the bliss, and miss the woes.
. . . [60 lines, 30 lines describing what makes for domestic
bliss]
