Deare [DEAR] [PAGGY?] since the single state

Since Metamorphased to A wife
And bliss and woes insured for Life
I findly [???] the why Would shew [SHOW]

And this [???] i think you may
Heare find to married Bliss the way
Small is the province of A Wife And Narrow is her Sphere of Life
With in that Speare to move [ARRIGH?]
Should Be her principle Delight
To Gide the house with prudant Care
And properly to Spend and Spare
To make her Husband Bless the Day
He gave his Liberty Away
To form the tender infant mind
Those are the tasks to Wives assigned
Then Never think Domistic [DOMESTIC] Care
Beneath the Notice of the faire
But Daily that affaires inspect
That naught Be wasted by Neglect
Be frugal plenty round you seem
And Allways keep the Golden mien
Be Allways Clean but Seldom fine
Let Desent Neateness Round you Shine
If one fair [???] be fled
Love soon Departs the [?] Bed
Not [???] you're house But Neate And Clean
In all things there's a proper mine

Then be at youre [???] Care
To keep that season Bright and Fare
