"ON A SHREW, SELS." by ANONYMOUS

First Line: AFTER SOME THREE-SCORE YEARS OF CATERWAWLING
Last Line: "FOR SHE'D AS LIEF BE DAMNED, AS BE AT REST"
Subject(s): SHREWS (WOMEN);
After some three-score years of caterwawling,
Here lies a shrew, stopt from above-ground bawling.
Tho'ill she liv'd, I dare not read her doom;
But sure, go where she will, she's troublesome.
I wish her, in revenge, among the blest:
For she'd as lief be damn'd, as be at rest.
