Dream'd that there did, for curing of his evil,
Appear a joyful object to 'm, The devil:
From whom, he thought, he got a ring so fit
For his designe, that so long 's he with it
Should his mid finger keep invironed,
He would be sure not to be cuckolded.
His fancie was so tickled with delight
At such a gift, that he awaked streight:
But when he found his said mid finger in
The orifice of his wifes lower Gin,
Without Artemidorus art, he knew
The dream to be in either part most true:
Both that it was the dev'l gave him that Ring,
And that his finger would bar Cuckolding.
