To the linmaf'ried LADIES,
A BEAUTIFUL fac«, and afoi(i^ii7lthoutfault>
Are not the attraftiona by which I am^aught,
Ccod nature, good fenfe, aad an faonefl ^ee mind.
Are pcrfciKons in woman to which I’m inclin’d.
For a time beauty charms, but fo certain is age.
That who tor a beauty alone would engage }
Since time farely fullies the brighteft of eyes.
And the face is a flower that bloflbms and dies ;
Then Venus begone with your empty joys,
Which like the falfe fyren allures and deflroys*
Come friendlhip and fenfe, guide my choice of a wife.
And rii love and blefs her all the rlays^f my life.

MAN and WIFE.
I F you fee a man and woman with
iiitc or no occafion, often finding
fault, and corre6ling each other in
company, you may be fure they are
man and wife.
It you lee a lady and a gentleman in
the fame carriage, in profound fiience,
the one looking out at one window,
the other at the oppofitc fide, be af-
fured they mean no harm to each
other, but arc man and wife.
If you fee a lady accidentally let fall
a glove or handkerchief, and a gentle
man who is next her tell her ofiit, that
the herfclf may pick it up, fet them
down for man and wife,
^ * If you fee a man and woman walk
in the fields, at twenty yards diftance
in a dire6l line, and the man' ftriding
over a ftile, and ftill going on Jans cere-
mcnie, you may Iwear they are—man
and wife*
It you fee a lady whofe beauty at-
tradfs the notice of every perfen pre*
fent, except one man, and he fpe^ks
to her in a rough manner, and does
not appear at all alfcdted by her
charms, depend upon it they are—
man and wij'e*
If you fee a male and female con-
ftantly thwarting each other, under the
appellation of ray dear, my love, be
alfured they arc—man and wife.
