Henceforth retire, reduce your roving Airs,
Haunt less the Plays, and more the publick Pray'rs,
Reject the  Head, and gold Brocade,
Go pray, in sober  Crape array'd.
Thy pendent Diamonds let thy  take,
(Their trembling Lustre shows how much you shake;)
Or bid her wear thy Necklace row'd with Pearl,
You'll find your  an obedient Girl.
So for the rest, with less Incumbrance hung,
You walk thro' Life, unmingled with the young;
And view the  and  as you pass
With joint Endeavour trifling at the Glass,
Or  drest, and rambling all her Days,
To meet her Counterpart, and grow by
Yet still sedate your self, and gravely plain,
You neither fret, nor envy at the Vain.
