[Cease, jealous Fools, your Storming, cease]
Cease, jealous Fools, your Storming, cease,
Which does but yout own Woes increase,
And add fresh Fuel to our Fires,
To teaze your Spouses Night and Day,
Believe me, is the ready Way,
To make them yield to loose Desires.
Your unkind Blows, to tender Wives,
Your causless Brawls, and restless Lives,
In everlasting Discord spent;
Will to yourselves most fatal prove,
Will kindle Hate, instead of Love,
And forward what you'd most prevent.
Which does but yout own Woes increase,
And add fresh Fuel to our Fires,
To teaze your Spouses Night and Day,
Believe me, is the ready Way,
To make them yield to loose Desires.
Your unkind Blows, to tender Wives,
Your causless Brawls, and restless Lives,
In everlasting Discord spent;
Will to yourselves most fatal prove,
Will kindle Hate, instead of Love,
And forward what you'd most prevent.
