Classic Poem

'T IS said Suspicions fill his Head,
 And that Myrtilla 's Spouse is jealous,
For every Night she takes to bed
 Her very Shoes because they're Fellows .

II.

Why, says Myrtilla , should he rave?
 And of poor harmless Shoes be jealous ;
If thus he long shou'd misbehave,
 I'll take to Bed more dang'rous Fellows .

III.

Then let not Trifles Feuds create,
 Nor of your Lady's Shoes be jealous ;
Or with a Pair she'll load your Head,
 For in some shape she'll have her Fellows .

IV.

Ye Wives who would in Wedlock shine,
 Nor fear a Husband 's being jealous,
Let not the S PRING with A UTUMN join,
 Nor marry those we call ODD Fellows .

V.

Be wise, my prudent Caution take,
 Nor make your Husband's justly jealous ,
Indecent Freedoms never take
 With what you call your P RETTY Fellows .
