E'en act the same they see the Mother do,
While he declining, and consumptive sits,
Bears all with patience, and to all submits.


_The Eighth Comfort,_ &c.

Another _Lady_, nicer bred and born,
Makes Huswif'ry, and Providence her Scorn
Her Maid and she must to the _Wells_ repair,
She is not well, and goes to take the Air:
The House to Servants she entrusts at home,
And down on _Saturday_ her Spouse must come,
And with him something very Costly bring,
Or Treat her there with some nice pretty thing,
She brought a Fortune, and it must be so,
But home to Rack and Ruin all do's go,
He sums his Gains, and finds it will not do;
In that for fifteen hundred pound she brought,
He'd better had a Huswife in her Smock.


_The Ninth Comfort,_ &c.

Another that with Prudence, and with Cares,
Has mannag'd well his Family Affairs,
Govern'd his Wife and Children with that ease,
Which always kept the Family in peace;
His sons and Daughters educated so,
None better bred, none cou'd gentiler go:
