Their Children too add Pleasure to their Lives!
Thus Men are Bless'd, who marry Virtuous Wives.


_Answer to the Eighth Mock Comfort._

Why should not Females under Wedlock tyes,
Participate with what the Man Enjoys?
Man's Second-self must have her share in Mirth
A Freedom, which is right to her by Birth:
If _Fortune's_ Bounty has encreased her Store,
Her _Husband's_ Love to her shou'd be the more;
No Cost or Care too much for such a Wife,
Whose Vertuous Charms adds Pleasure to the Life:
Such _Comforts_ on a married Life depend,
There's nothing like a Loving Bosom-Friend.
If _Husband's_ Stock is wasted by mischance,
A careful Wife will soon the same advance.


_Answer to the Ninth Mock Comfort._

By Drinking, Whoring or some Earthly Cross;
Then patient Wife, who yet must bear the Blame,
And hide the cause of his notorous Shame;
And many times the Sons and Daughters too,
Act just the same they see their Father do:
And therefore if they chance to go astray,
The Father pointed out the crooked way;
