BAINES CAREW, GENTLEMAN.
105
"And when Carew's advice I've got
Divorce a mensâ I shall try"
(A legal separation—not
A vinculo conjugii).
"Oh, Baines Carew, my woe I've kept
A secret, hitherto, you know;"—
(And Baines Carew, Esquire, he wept
To hear that Bagg had any woe.)
"My case, indeed, is passing sad,
My wife—whom I considered true—
With brutal conduct drives me mad."
"I am appalled," said Baines Carew.
