A Version of the first PSALM. For the Use of a Young Lady

The Maid is blest that will not hear Of Masquerading Tricks, Nor lends to wanton Songs an Ear Nor sighs for Coach and Six.

To please her shall her Husband strive With all his Main and Might, And in her Love shall exercise Himself both Day and Night.

She shall bring forth most pleasant Fruit, He Flourish still, and Stand, Even so all Things shall prosper well, That this Maid takes in Hand.

No wicked Whores shall have such Luck, Who follow their own Wills, But purg'd shall be to Skin and Bone, With Mercury and Pills.

For why, The Pure and Cleanly Maids, Shall All, good Husbands gain; But Filthy and Uncleanly Jades Shall Rot in Drury-Lane.
