So while we are eating the fruits of the vine	A
Don't let us forget such a health giving juice	B
As Champagne or Sherbet or other good wine	A
Nor sin by neglecting its 'temperate use '	C
	-
Now Sherbet my husband extols to the skies	D
With me though my stomach is weak and won't bear it	E
And Sherry though sometimes affecting my eyes	D
A bottle with pleasure we'll open and share it	E
	-
Ha ha well a day what a queer world to live in	F
If one were contented on little to dine	A
We need not be longing another to be in	F
Where women they tell us exist without wine	A
Where husbands are happy and women content	G
Where dresses though gauzy are fit for the street	H
Where no one is wretched with purses unbent	H
With nothing to wear and nothing to eat	H
	-
Where women no longer are treated la Turk	I
Where husbands descended from Saxon or Norman	J
For women when sickly are willing to work	I
And not long for Utah and pleasures la Mormon	J
Where men freely marry and live with their wives	K
And not live as you do mon Colonel so single	L
	-
Such wretched and dinnerless bachelor lives	M
You don't know the pleasure there is in the tingle	L
Of ears pricked by lectures la curtain au Caudle	L
Or noise of young Dinewells beginning to toddle	L
While plodding all day with your paper and quills	M
And copy and proof sheets and work for the printer	N
Pray what do you know of the housekeeper's bills	M
And other such 'pleasures of hope' for the winter	N
	-
You men selfish creatures think all of the care	O
Of living and keeping yourselves in existence	M
Is due to your own daily labor and share	O
From breakfast to dinner of business persistance	M
While woman is either a plaything or drudge	P
According to station of wealth or position	J
Which men help along with a word or a nudge	P
To heaven high up or low down to perdition	J
	-
But what was I saying of a world free from care	O
Of eating and drinking and dresses to wear	O
	-
Where women by husbands are never tormented	H
And never asked money where husbands dissented	H
And never see others their rivals in fashion ahead	H
And never have doctors a woman's great dread	H
And nothing I hope like my own indigestion	J
To torment and starve them as this one does me	Q
And keep them from sipping forgive the suggestion	J
The nectar etherial they drink for their tea	Q
