Five Excellent New Songs (c. 1780, "The Cambridge Tender")/Cuckold's Comfort

CUCKOLD’S COMFORT.

In ancient days I’ve heard with horns,
the wife her ſpouſe could fright;
Which now the Hero bravely ſcorns,
ſo common is the ſight.

To city, country, camp or court,
or whereſoe’er he go,
No horned brother dares make ſport,
they’re cuckolds all a-row.
