Song: When a woman that’s buxom a dotard does wed,...

by William Jackson . A Catch for Three voices , in G major

Text:

When a woman that’s buxom a dotard does wed,
’tis a madness to think she’ll be true to his bed,
for who can resist a gallant that his young,
and a man à la mode in his garb and his tongue?
his looks have such charms and his language such force,
that the drowsy mechanic’s a cuckold of course.
