WEE the Master-Cuckolds and War[de]ns of Fumblers-Hall, by Vertue of this Lawful Summons, do joyntly and singular[ly] Charge you, and every of you, belonging to the Henpeckd-Frigat, to new Tip an[d ?]urbursh up your Horns, of what Miniture or Magnitude soever, as well living [in] the Suburbs, as within the famous City of London: And having thus done, you and ev[ery o]f you, to procure a Coney-skin Fur-Gown bedeckd with Encomiums of your Wives Ho[?]ys; in which you are strictly Chargd Perso- nally to appear at Cuckolds-Point, on the 18th [of] this Instant October, compleatly armd and for- tified with Baskets, Pick-Axes, and Shovels, t[he]re to Rendezvous with the Ancient and Horni- fied Brethren of your Henpeckd Society; fr[om] thence (after the general Muster) to March at the Word of Command, down to the Grave[l pi]ts, there to dig Graves, and bury all thoughts of your Wives dishonesty, that you may th[?] carry Gravel with a peaceable Conscience, to amend the Highways, that your Wives (wit[h] their Gallants) may walk with pleasure to Horn- Fair, to see what strange Monsters they hav[e] made of their Husbands. This being done, you repair to Fumblers-Hall, there nail up your Horns, to hang Hats and Cloaks on, for against next Year, we account theyl be new grown. F[?] not, under the pain of your Wives displeasure, or a greater pair of Horns than your soft N[?]dles (in a short time) will be able to support. Timothy No-tool, Beadle. A Pleasant new SONG, [to] the Tune of, Ladies of London.
YOu that are summond, fail not to appea[r] as well out of Suburbs as City: The young foolish Cuckolds must march i[n] the Rear led on by the hornified witty: But have a care you march not too close, for your Horns will so woundily rattle, That the Country Bumkin will fancy, God knows youre a head of some Outlandish Cattel. Rip off the Fringe from your wives Petticoat and put all your Gloves in the fashion; For theyl get more, or theyl cut all the throats of the young Cuckold-makers ith Nation. For if you come not decently drest, theyl scoff at you all for your labour; The Brethren will think you some intruding Guest that has borrowd your Horns of your Neighbor.
Bring all your Horns tipt with Silver good store that we ere we part may be merry, Whilst our wives in our absence lie coyning of more in a mould that does seldom miscarry. For who would ere be so simply proud, or so very nice in his Dyet, As not to let any man taste of his Food, if he knows he shall get money by it. You that are Cuckolds, and live with content, are surely the happiest of Creatures; You live merry here, then to Heaven are sent, through means of your wives good natures. Therefore let them their liberty take, and never desire to debar it, Since you by your Neighbors are lovd for her sake, and live the more happily for it.
