[Adam alone cou'd not be easy]
Adam alone cou'd not be easy,So he must have a wife, an't please ye:
But how did he procure his wife,
To cheer his solitary life?
Why, from a rib ta'en out his side
Was form'd this necessary bride.
But how did he the pain beguile?
Pho! he slept sweetly all the while.

In woman's form, to Adam's side,
How then, I pray you, did it answer?
He never slept so sweet again, Sir.
