Not illustrated. 1854 Excerpt: ...offended cuckolds are. Adult''rers are with dangers round beset; 4s5 Born under Mars, they cannot scape the net; And from revengeful husbands oft have tried Worse handling, than severest laws provide: One stabs; one slashes; one, with cruel art, Makes colon suffer for the peccant part. 400 But your Endymion, your smooth, smockfac''d boy, Unrivall''d, shall a beauteous dame enjoy: Not so: one more salacious, rich, and old, Outbids, and buys her pleasure for her gold: Now he must moil, and drudge, for one he loaths, She keeps him high in equipage and clothes: She pawns her jewels, and her rich attire, And thinks the workman worthy of his hire: In all things else immoral, stingy, mean; But, in her lusts, a conscionable queen. 500 She may be handsome, yet be chaste, you say; Good observator, not so fast away: Did it not cost the modest youth his life, Who shunn''d th'' embraces of his father''s wife? And was not t'' other stripling forc''d to fly, 505 Who coldly did his patron''s queen deny, And pleaded laws of hospitality? The ladies charg''d ''em home, and turn''d the tale; With shame they redden''d, and with spite grew pale. ''Tis dang''rous to deny the longing dame; 610 She loses pity, who has lost her shame. Now Silius wants thy counsel, give advice; Wed Caesar''s wife, or die; the choice is nice. Her comet-eyes she darts on ev''ry grace; And takes a fatal liking to his face. 5ia V. 503. Hippolytus, the son of Theseus, was loved by his mother-in-law Phaedra; but he not complying with her, she procured his death. V. 505. Bellerophon, the son of king Glaucus, residing some time at the court of Psetus, king of the Argives, the queen, Sthenobsea, fell in love with him; but he refusing her, she turned the accusation upon him, and he narrowly escaped Psstus''s vengeance.
