2694: \u00a0Fie, fie, vnknit that threatning vnkinde brow,
\n2695: \u00a0And dart not scornefull glances from those eies,
\n2696: \u00a0To wound thy Lord, thy King, thy Gouernour.
\n2697: \u00a0It blots thy beautie, as frosts doe bite the Meads,
\n2698: \u00a0Confounds thy fame, as whirlewinds shake faire budds,
\n2699: \u00a0And in no sence is meete or amiable.
\n2700: \u00a0A woman mou’d, is like a fountaine troubled,
\n2701: \u00a0Muddie, ill seeming, thicke, bereft of beautie,
\n2702: \u00a0And while it is so, none so dry or thirstie
\n2703: \u00a0Will daigne to sip, or touch one drop of it.
\n2704: \u00a0Thy husband is thy Lord, thy life, thy keeper,
\n2705: \u00a0Thy head, thy soueraigne: One that cares for thee,
\n2706: \u00a0And for thy maintenance. Commits his body
\n2707: \u00a0To painfull labour, both by sea and land:
\n2708: \u00a0To watch the night in stormes, the day in cold,
\n2709: \u00a0Whil’st thou ly’st warme at home, secure and safe,
\n2710: \u00a0And craues no other tribute at thy hands,
\n2711: \u00a0But loue, faire lookes, and true obedience;
\n2712: \u00a0Too little payment for so great a debt.
\n2713: \u00a0Such dutie as the subiect owes the Prince,
\n2714: \u00a0Euen such a woman oweth to her husband:
\n2715: \u00a0And when she is froward, peeuish, sullen, sowre,
\n2716: \u00a0And not obedient to his honest will,
\n2717: \u00a0What is she but a foule contending Rebell,
\n2718: \u00a0And gracelesse Traitor to her louing Lord?
\n2719: \u00a0I am asham’d that women are so simple,
\n2720: \u00a0To offer warre, where they should kneele for peace:
\n2721: \u00a0Or seeke for rule, supremacie, and sway,
\n2722: \u00a0When they are bound to serue, loue, and obay.
\n2723: \u00a0Why are our bodies soft, and weake, and smooth,
\n2724: \u00a0Vnapt to toyle and trouble in the world,
\n2725: \u00a0But that our soft conditions, and our harts,
\n2726: \u00a0Should well agree with our externall parts?
\n2727: \u00a0Come, come, you froward and vnable wormes,
\n2728: \u00a0My minde hath bin as bigge as one of yours,
\n2729: \u00a0My heart as great, my reason haplie more,
\n2730: \u00a0To bandie word for word, and frowne for frowne;
\n2731: \u00a0But now I see our Launces are but strawes:
\n2732: \u00a0Our strength as weake, our weakenesse past compare,
\n2733: \u00a0That seeming to be most, which we indeed least are.
\n2734: \u00a0Then vale your stomackes, for it is no boote,
\n2735: \u00a0And place your hands below your husbands foote:
\n2736: \u00a0In token of which dutie, if he please,
\n2737: \u00a0My hand is readie, may it do him ease.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
