?

The man had courage, was a fage, 'tis true, 39
And lov'd his country,---but, what's that to you
Those strange examples ne'er were made to fit ye,
But the kind cuckold might instruct the City :
There, many an honest man may copy Cato,
Who ne'er faw naked fword, or look'd in Plato.
If, after all, you think it a difgrace, 45
That Edward's Mifs thus perks it in your face;
To fee a piece of failing flesh and blood,
In all the rest so impudently good;

49

Faith, let the modest Matrons of the town Come here in crouds, and ftare the ftrumpet down.
