PRIVY-LOVE FOR MY LANDLADY by GEORGE FAREWELL

First Line: HERE COSTIVE MANY MINUTES DID I STRAIN
Last Line: DEAR, DOTING DICK, FOR O! SHE SAVED MY LIFE.
Subject(s): LOVE - MARITAL; WEDDED LOVE; MARRIAGE - LOVE;

HERE costive many minutes did I strain,
Still squeezing, sweating, swearing, all in vain;
When lo! who should pop by but mother Masters,'
At whose bewitching look soon stubborn arse stirs.
No more my wanton wit shall whip thy wife,
Dear, doting Dick, for O! she saved my life.
