And she was once more indulging in a merry fit of laughter when a sound of voices and slamming doors became audible. Muffat was surprised, and he questioned her with a look. She grew serious, and an anxious expression came over her face. It must be Zoe's cat, a cursed beast that broke everything. It was half-past twelve o'clock. How long was she going to bother herself in her cuckold's behalf?
The mistress to her distant lover writes; And, as awake, with flames and darts indites: The good wife dreaming of her stallion's charms, Oft seeks the pleasure in her cuckold's arms. Dogs on full cry, in sleep, the hare pursue, And hapless wretches their old griefs renew."
The Ingratitude of a Commonwealth, or the Fall of Caius Marius Coriolanus; this was printed in 4to. 1682, and dedicated to the Marquis of Worcester; it is founded on Shakespear's Coriolanus. Cuckold's Haven, or an Alderman no Conjuror; a Farce; acted at the Queen's Theatre in the Dorset-Garden 1685. Part of the plot of this piece seems to be taken from Ben.
Nahum Tate has a farce, borrowed from Eastward Hoe and The Devil's an Ass, entitled Cuckold's Haven; or, An Alderman no Conjuror . p. 278 Nice and Flutter. The two typical Fops of the day.
"Has anyone deceived you?" "Ha! Ha!" "Come, tell me!" "My dear, I am still quite overcome at the death of poor Cochegrue, and there is not at the present moment a good housewife's tongue or a virtuous cuckold's lips that are not talking about it." "And what was it?" "Listen! This poor Cochegrue was returning from market, having sold his corn and two fat pigs.

There is neither sense, meaning, nor beauty in that name. Why," continued I, making strange grimaces, "one cannot speak it without twisting the mouth into kinks and cuckold's necks without number. Ca-a-th-c-a-a-rt!
"Oh, you," he muttered with a shrug of his shoulders. Nana was certainly not spiteful. Since the beginning of the conversation she had been strongly tempted to throw his cuckold's reputation in his teeth, but she had resisted. She would have liked to confess him quietly on the subject, but he had begun to exasperate her at last. The matter ought to stop now.
They took a savage pleasure in telling me how I should come to dance on air at Cuckold's Haven, or, in other words, to the gallows, if I went on as I had begun. After serving the cabin supper that night I was free to go to my hammock. There was not much to be glad for, except the rest after so much work. I went with a glad heart, for I was tired out.
Here too is the chapel consecrated to Isotta, 'Divæ Isottæ Sacrum; and the tombs of the Malatesta ladies, 'Malatestorum domûs heroidum sepulchrum; and Sigismondo's own grave with the cuckold's horns and scornful epitaph.
Hah, what ail'st thou, Man? Bel. The Bridegroom! Like Gorgon's Head he'as turned me into Stone. Gay. Gorgon's Head a Cuckold's Head 'twas made to graft upon. Bel. By Heaven, I'll seize her even at the Altar, And bear her thence in Triumph. Gay.
