THE THREE WIVES; A JUBILIATION, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: My first was a lady whose dominant passion
Last Line: For I'm clear of the world and the flesh and the devil!
Subject(s): Marriage; Weddings; Husbands; Wives


MY First was a lady whose dominant passion
Was thorough devotion to parties and fashion;
My Second, regardless of conjugal duty,
Was only the worse for her wonderful beauty;
My Third was a vixen in temper and life,
Without one essential to make a good wife.
Jubilate! at last in my freedom I revel,
For I'm clear of the World and the Flesh and the Devil!
