The jealous old dotard: or, The discovery of cuckoldry: : a pleasant new song. Old men beware when you young wenches wed, least lusty gallants do ascend your bed; and horn your palsie-pates, for youthful blood fair Venus's pastime never yet withstood: 'tis fit that all old men should cuckolds be, who think young women love a sapless tree. To a pleasant new tune.
