RIDDLE XLVII.
WHat ladies with a grace may do ;
What, when you’re dress’d, sits well on you;
What many a man who has a wife,
Submits to, for a quiet life.

 

RIDDLE XLVIII.

[THE brute that’s most despised by man,
Yet does him all the good he can ;
Who bore the greatest Prince on earth,
That gave to righteousness new birth :
‘Who sometimes does o’er death prevail,
And health restores when doctors fail.

RIDDLE XLIX.

(THERE'S not a creature lives beneath the sky,
Can secrets keep so faithfully as I;

All things for safety are to me consign’d,

Although I often leave them far behind ;

I never act but by another’s will,

And what he should command I must fulfil.
