YOu Men that are married, I pray now attend, Good tydings I bring you, this day as a Friend; It will be of use to all young Men and old, Whoever are troubld with Women that scold. A Doctor of late, from the Emperors Court, A Person of dextrous Skill by report, Hath taken a Chamber in London lof late, And cures scolding Wives at a wonderful rate. This Doctor has travelld all Poland and Spain, And now to Great-Britain he crossed the Main: To one Land and Nation hell not be confind, But travels the World for the good of mankind.
That Man that is plagud with a cross scolding Wife, Whose railing doth make him quite weary of Life; Pray what would he give for an absolute cure, Before such a terrible Life hed endure? Tis like evry Morning when Day-light appears, She rings him a thundring Peal in his Ears; And makes him be glad to rouze out of the Bed, And all by the violent noise of her Head. Sometimes a good Husband may meet with a Friend, And happen a penny or two pence to spend; Then in comes the Wife, who dos thunder and bawl, And with the Quart-flaggon his Noddle doth maul.
Her Tongue is more keen than a two-edged Sword, Nay louder than Thunder she Peals will afford; Instead of fond Pleasures, kind Love and Delight, She is like a fierce Tygre, both Morning and Night. It is an unspeakable Torment I know, You cannot imagine what they undergo: Who with such cross Women, their Lives now do lead, But bring them away to the Doctor with speed. Nay let them be never so aged or young, This Doctor he takes out the Sting of the Tongue; Which is the main Cause of that violent noise, And likewise all modest Behaviour destroys. A Balsom he has of a moderate price, Which takes off the frowns of the Face in a trice, And makes her as mild as the innocent Dove, And instead of railing, shes all over Love. He hath been above seven Weeks in the Town, And yet of young Scolds who was given to frown, He has curd above Seven hundred indeed: And some full as bad as the Billingsgate-Breed. Theres one I will mention, livd near Tower-Hill, Who would be both fighting and quarrelling still: From night to next morning, from morning to noon, Her Pipes I must tell you, was always in tune. Her Husband he heard of this Doctor of fame, Without longer tarry, faith thither he came, With she that was calld The invincible Shrow, Fast bound in a Basket, for she would not go. This Doctor he curd her in less than a Week, And made her as modest, as mild, and as meek, As any sweet Lady this day in the Land, And so he dos all, that he eer takes in hand. We hear of some Quacks are for curing of Claps, And some other common Diseases, perhaps; But when did you hear on our vast British shore, Of one that coud cure this Distemper before! Whoever is troubld this day with a Scold, Altho she be youthful, or fourscore years old, Tis all one to him, if the Cure he dont do, Hell not have so much as one penny of you. Now rather than any that pain shall endure, The Poor he for little or nothing will cure; All day at his Chamber he is to be found, Next Door to the Eels-foot in Sallengers-Round.
