MATRIMONIAL COMFORTS.
The dupc of Matrialgitial strife,
Poor Richard almost loatli'd his life

Sad tate of 'hasty matches ;
For such was Doll's stentorian to ngue,
That whilst his ears with curses rung,
His phih was plough'd with scratches.

But death, at length; to ease his pain,
Clapp'd on Doll's tongue an icy chain,
'Tor ever mute to keep her ;
Whilst Dick, face-dm•friwards, buried her,
• Convinc'd, that, should the vixen stir.
She'd—s:ratcb her grave the deeper.
