XVIII. To his Wife at last a Nurse.
AFter six nourc'd by others, youl'd ne'r restUntill the seventh Child drew out your own Brest.The seventh some secret vertue has, they say:This then, I hope will prove a fortunat Boy.And as in this (your Brest being often sore)Your labours were; so will your Joyes be more.Children would all be more obedient sure,Knew they what pains their Mothers did endure.The Proverbs false: Once Nurse, sev'n year the worse:Best Nurse is Mother; and best Mother's Nurse.
