TO AN AFFECTED SINGER, WHO HAD SOME TIME BEFORE BURIED A
SCOLDING WIFE.
You think, like Orpheus, you excell; 
And this indeed is clear,
That fit you are to sing in hell,
And charm the devil's ear:
So fit that to reward your song,
He'd give you back your wife,
And make it in the bargain strong,
To keep her all your life.
