H E AR, Peggy, fince the fingle State You’ve left, andchole yourfelf aMate; Since metamorphos’d 10 a Wife, And Blifs or Woe’s infur”d for Life. A friendly Mufe the Way would thew, ‘To gain the Blifs, and mifs the Woe, Buat firlt of all, I maft fuppofe You’ve with mature Refleétion chofe ; And this premis’d, I think you may Here find to married Blifs the Way. Small is the Province of a Wife, And narrow is her Sphere in Life ; Within that Sphere to move aright Should be her principal Delight ; To guide the Houfe with prudent Care, And properly to fpend and fpare; To make her Hufband blefs the Day He gave his Liberty away ; To form the tender Infant Mind ; f{‘hcfe are the Tatks to Wives aflign’d : 1 herrnever think domeftic Care -Lseneath the Notice of the Fair; But daily thofe Affairs infpect, That nought be walted by negleét: Be Frugal, Plenty round you feen, And always keep the Golden Mean. .Be always Clean, but feldom fine, Let decent Neatnefs round you fhine ; If once fair Decency be fled, Love foon deferts the genial Bed. Not nice yourHoufe, tho’ neatand clean; In all Things there’s a proper Mean :» Some of our Sex miftake in this, ‘Too anixous fome, fome too remifs, The early Days of wedded Life, Are oft o’ercaft by childifh Strife ; Then be it your peculiar Care, To keep that-Seafon bright and fair ; For then’s the Time by gentle Art To fix your Empire in his Heart. With kind, obliging Carriage ftrive Tokeep the Lamp of Love alive ; For fhould it thro® Negleét expire, No Art again can light the Fire. To charm his Reafon drefs your Mind, Till Loye fhall be with Friendthip join’d ; Rais’d on that Bafis, *cwill endure, From Time, and Death itfelf fecure. Be fure you ne’er for Pow’r contend, Nor try by Tears to gain your End ; Sometimes the Tears which cloud our Eyes From Pride and Obftinacy rife. Heav’n gave to Man fuperiour Sway, « Then Heav’n and him at once obey. - Let fullen Frowns yourBrow ne’er cloud; Be always chearful, never loud ; Let Trifles never difcompofe Your Features, Temper, or Repofe. Abroad for Happinefs ne’er roam ; True Happinefs refides at Home ; Still make your Partner eafy there, (Maa finds Abroad fufficient Care.) If every Thing at Home be right, . He’ll always enter with Delight ; Your Converfe he’ll prefer to all | - ., Thofe Clieats the World does pleafure call 4 Hampthire With chearful Chat his Cares beguile, And always eaeet him with a Smile, Should Paflion ¢’er his Soul deform, Serenely meet the burfting Storm ; Neverin wordy War engage, Nor ever meet his Rage with Rage. Witheall our Sex’s foftening Art Recall loft Reafon to his Heart ; Thus calm the Tempeft in his Breaft, And fweetly footh his Soul to reft. Befure you nc’er arraign his Senfe ; . Few Hufbands pardon that Offence 5 *Twill Difcord raife, Difgult it breeds, And Hatred certainly fucceeds : Then fhun, O fhun that fatal Shelf, Still chink him wifer than yourlelf ; If you fhould otherwife believe, Ne’er let him fuch a Thought perceive, W hen Cares invade yourPartner’s Heart Bear you a fympathizing Part, And kindly claim your Share of Pain, And half his Troubles ftill fuftain ; From rifing Morn till fetting Nighe, - To fee him pleas’d, your chief Delight. But now, methinks, I hear you cry, Shall fhe pretend, O Vanity ! -‘Ta lay down Rules for wedded Life, Who never was herfelf a Wife ? 2 I own yov’ve ample Caufe to chide, And bluthing throw my Pen afide.
