[If he that hath character'd out a Wife]
If he that hath character'd out a Wife,Might see her practique part thus drawn to life,
He could not but with shouts and acclamation,
Preferre thy practice to his contemplation:
So dost thou branch her out in every line,
That only thou deserv'st she should be thine:
Oh! wer't thou single now, and free, as I,
No woman, shouldst thou ask, could thee deny;
So powr'fully hast thou their cause defended,
And highly, as they well deserve, commended:
Such goodnes thou descri'st in woman kinde,
As never any could before thee finde.
G. H.
