41. To my wife on the birth of her daughter Isabella.
I in this second Daughter wish you joy,Yet should have had more, had it been a Boy.
Girles are (by far) more chargeable; And (when
Boyes are grown up) less care will serve for Men.
You say a Nun you mean her: such another
(I think) you do intend as was her mother.
But whether she live Maid, or prove a wife,
I wish her a long, healthful, happy life.
So I do leave you with your new Delight,
Till you and I do meet again at Night.
