Another Epigram

[A well kend Cuckold made his brag]

A well kend Cuckold made his brag,
How much by Fortune he was lov'd;
And said in hearing of a Wag,
That under him the Warld mov'd.

264

That your great Glory yields to few,
In Truth, says he, cannot be quarrel'd;
For a' the Warld moves under you,
And your Wife under a' the Warld.
