Chapter 102 EPILOGUE TO THE HUSBAND HIS OWN CUCKOLD.

BY MR JOHN DRYDEN, JUN., 1696.[68]

Like some raw sophister that mounts the pulpit,

So trembles a young Poet at a full pit.

Unused to crowds, the parson quakes for fear,

And wonders how the devil he durst come there;

Wanting three talents needful for the place-

Some beard, some learning, and some little grace.

Nor is the puny Po
