The seamans wives ranting resolution, or, Make use of time, while time serves. It is a proverb old some people say, while the cat is gone the mouse hath leave to play; just so this witty seamans wife, she is resolved to live a merry life: and while her husband is abroad for gain, a loveing friend she'l kindly entertain. Tune of Couragio, or If by your good leave I may, &c
