Last Line: And die a cuckold and a saint
Subject(s): Repentance;women; Penitence
Oh, I'll reform, I will, I swear!
To Hymen I'll address my vows,
And I'll beget a son and heir,
And tend my sheep, and milk my cows,
And doze and fatten with my spouse! ...
Yes, I'll reform!—vain town, adieu!
Henceforth with rural joys content,
A life of reason I'll pursue;
Of all my former sins repent,
And die a cuckold and a saint.
