On a deaf man and his blind wife.

The husband's deaf, the wife cann't see a wink
She's ears to him' and now he's eies to her:
Which hath the happier time on't do you think?
He; since her parlous tongue he cannot hear,
Her noise 'tis thought deaft him; howe'r it be,
Happy is that loss that made them thus agree.
