A Reasonable Affliction

Language: English

On his deathbed poor Lubin lies;
His spouse is in despair:
With frequent cries, and mutual sighs,
They both express their care.

"A diff'rent cause," says parson Sly,
"The same effect may give!
Poor Lubin fears that he shall die;
His wife, that he may live."


Input by Brian Charles Witkowski
