First Line: "I have lost my mistress, horse and wife"
Last Line: "my wife damn'd ugly, and a scold, - / I am sorry for my horse"
Subject(s): Loss


I have lost my mistress, horse and wife,
And when I think of human life,
Cry mercy 'twas no worse.
My mistress sickly, poor and old,
My wife damn'd ugly, and a scold,—
I am sorry for my horse.
