Analysis of Two Or Three: A Recipe To Make A Cuckold
Alexander Pope 1688 (London) – 1744 (Twickenham)
Two or three visits, and two or three bows,
Two or three civil things, two or three vows,
Two or three kisses, with two or three sighs,
Two or three Jesus's - and let me dies-
Two or three squeezes, and two or three towses,
With two or three thousand pound lost at their houses,
Can never fail cuckolding two or three spouses.
