A Reasonable Affliction Poem by Matthew Prior

A Reasonable Affliction

Rating: ★2.6


On his death-bed poor Lubin lies:
His spouse is in despair:
With frequent sobs, and mutual cries,
They both express their care.

A different cause, says Parson Sly,
The same effect may give:
Poor Lubin fears that he may die;
His wife, that he may live.
