Matthew Prior. Poems on Several Occasions | ||
A Reasonable Affliction.
On His Death-Bed poor Lubin lies:His Spouse is in Despair:
With frequent Sobs, and mutual Cries,
They Both express their Care.
A diff'rent Cause, says Parson Sly,
The same Effect may give:
Poor Lubin fears, that He shall Die;
His Wife, that He may Live.
