<HEAD>THE Cuckold in Purgatory: OR, <HI>The FALL of the Second Man,</HI> ADAM.</HEAD>
<L><HI>ADAM</HI> the Fir&s;t on <HI>Apple</HI> made his <HI>Meal,</HI></L>
<L>The Second on a daintier Di&s;h call'd <HI>Teal;</HI></L>
<L>Both equally forbid, and did foretel</L>
<L>(As <HI>Adam</HI>'s Fall) the Fall of <HI>C&mdash;pel;</HI></L>
<L>Yet wi&s;er he, tho' Beggarly and Poor,</L>
<L>Took <HI>Eve,</HI> not as his <HI>Wife,</HI> but as his <HI>Whore;</HI></L>
<L>Whil&s;t modern <HI>Adam,</HI> to compleat's Mi&s;carriage,</L>
<L>Has took his Virtuous <HI>Eve</HI> (both ways) in Marriage,</L>
<L>Meanly de&s;erting <HI>Paradi&s;e</HI>'s Glory;</L>
<L>To be a Drudg in his own <HI>Purgatory;</HI></L>
<L>The Fir&s;t di&s;creetly cho&s;e the milder Cur&s;e,</L>
<L>And took for <HI>Better</HI> what he took for <HI>Wor&s;e;</HI></L>
<L>If &s;uch a <HI>Cardinal</HI> great <HI>Rome</HI> had bred,</L>
<L>As &s;hit his <HI>Cap</HI> to put on his own Head,</L>
<L>Shame of the <HI>Conclave!</HI> from the &s;ight of Men,</L>
<L>She'd &s;oon Tran&s;late him to the <HI>Lion</HI>'s <HI>Den;</HI></L>
<L>Which, (u&s;ele&s;s now) the prudent State believes,</L>
<L>Is be&s;t converted to a <HI>Den</HI> for <HI>Thieves.</HI></L>
