On Charinus the Husband of an ugly Wife.
Your Wife's possest of such a Face, and Mind,So charming that, and this so soft and kind,
So smooth her Forehead, and her Voice so sweet,
Her Words so tender, and her Dress so neat,
That wou'd kind Heav'n, whence Man all good derives,
In wond'rous Bounty send me three such Wives,
Dear happy Husband, take it on my Word,
I'd give the D---l two to take the third.
