HOw sad is my Fate how unhappy my Life, To be Cuckcold and Plagu'd by a Turbulent Wife; In an Amorous heat with a Cooper she's gone, Who will hoop her Tubb stoutly before he has done: There's no better Collation in both their Opinions, Then burn'd Clarret and Coneys well smother'd with Oinions 2. I'm a Man every Inch and a Wheel-wright by Trade, By a Coopers assistance now a Cockcold am made: Now he has her, I hope he will carefully hoop her, For I'le warn't him, her lake-hole finds work for the Cooper. There's no better Collation in both their Opinions, Then burn'd Clarret and Coneys well smother'd with Oinions.
3. I'le reward in a short time the Coopers desert, He knows I can soon put a spoke in his Cart; If I ever should meet him, I'le belabour his Jerkin, Thus without my Consent, for hooping my Wifes Ferkin: I'le make them repent and soon change their Opinions, Of their Clarret and Coneys well smother'd with Oinions. 4. My Wife tho' she's gone, I'le this Character give her, I'le war'nt her, she tyrs both his Adge and his Driver; She's a frail mortal Cask that will always want hooping, And her damn'd lacky-tap-hole each moment wants stopping: They'l Repent of their folly and change their Opinions, Of their Clarret and Coneys well smother'd with Oinions. 5 When Quarrels arise 'twixt my Neighbours and I , Dip your Horns in burnt Clarret they presently cry; Then another he comes and drops out with his Jeer, Methinks Coneys and Oinions are delicate cheer: Then they'l sing out the Chorus in all our Opinions, Burnt Clarret's good Sawce for S tew'd Rabbets and Oinions
6. How unhoppy was I thus to wed with a Jade, Who the joys of my Bed to another betray'd; It's but just a reward should to Cuckcolds be given, We have right by our Horns to the pleasures of Heaven: Which is better by far in us Cuckcolds Opinions, Than burnt Clarret and Coneys well smother'd with Oinions 7. To the weight of my Horns I am forced to stoop, I am now made a Cuckcold as round as a hoop; He is stupid who for his Wifes fault ever Mourns, My head shall on Wheels run and not on my horns: Let them hoop and be damn'd with both their Opinions, Of burnt Clarret and Coneys well smother'd with Oinions 8. This Leacherous Cooper some Satyre hath got him, He'l leave no Tubb standing upon its own bottom; I am sure he will quickly be tyr'd with his Love, He will soon find her Ferkin will bottomless prove: They'l repent soon their folly and change their Opinions, There's so much for Clarret stew'd Coneys and Oinions.
