How happy’s the Husband

Lyrics
How happy's the Husband, whose Wife has been try'd! Not damn'd to the Bed of an ignorant Bride! Secure of what's left, he ne'er misses the rest But where there's enough, supposes a Feast; So foreknowing the Cheat He escapes the Deceit And in spite of the Curse, resolves to be blest If Children are Blessings, his Comfort's the more Whose Spouse has been known to be fruitful before; And the Boy that she brings ready made to his Hand May stand him instead, for an Heir to his Land Shou'd his own prove a Sot When he's lawfully got As when e'er 'tis so, if he don't, I'll be hang'd
