141\u00a0 Fie, fie, unknit that threatening unkind brow,
\n142\u00a0 And dart not scornful glances from those eyes
\n143\u00a0 To wound thy lord, thy king, thy governor.
\n144\u00a0 It blots thy beauty as frosts do bite the meads,
\n145\u00a0 Confounds thy fame as whirlwinds shake fair buds
\n146\u00a0 And in no sense is meet or amiable.
\n147\u00a0 A woman moved is like a fountain troubled,
\n148\u00a0 Muddy, ill-seeming, thick, bereft of beauty
\n149\u00a0 And while it is so, none so dry or thirsty
\n150\u00a0 Will deign to sip or touch one drop of it.
\n151\u00a0 Thy husband is thy lord, thy life, thy keeper,
\n152\u00a0 Thy head, thy sovereign: one that cares for thee
\n153\u00a0 And for thy maintenance; commits his body
\n154\u00a0 To painful labor both by sea and land,
\n155\u00a0 To watch the night in storms, the day in cold,
\n156\u00a0 [Whilst thou liest warm at home, secure and safe,]
\n157\u00a0 And craves no other tribute at thy hands
\n158\u00a0 But love, fair looks and true obedience–
\n159\u00a0 Too little payment for so great a debt.
\n160\u00a0 Such duty as the subject owes the prince,
\n161\u00a0 Even such a woman oweth to her husband;
\n162\u00a0 And when he is froward, peevish, sullen, sour, *
\n163\u00a0 And not obedient to her honest will, *
\n164\u00a0 What is he but a foul contending rebel *
\n165\u00a0 And graceless traitor to his loving lord? *
\n166\u00a0 I am ashamed that people are so simple
\n167\u00a0 To offer war where they should kneel for peace,
\n168\u00a0 Or seek for rule, supremacy, and sway,
\n169\u00a0 When they are bound to serve, love, and obey.
\n170\u00a0 Why are our bodies soft, and weak, and smooth,
\n171\u00a0 Unapt to toil and trouble in the world,
\n172\u00a0 But that our soft conditions and our hearts
\n173\u00a0 Should well agree with our external parts?
\n174\u00a0 Come, come, you froward and unable worms,
\n175\u00a0 My mind hath been as big as one of yours,
\n176\u00a0 My heart as great, my reason haply more,
\n177\u00a0 To bandy word for word and frown for frown.
\n178\u00a0 But now I see our lances are but straws,
\n179\u00a0 Our strength as weak, our weakness past compare,
\n180\u00a0 That seeming to be most which we indeed least are.
\n181\u00a0 Then vail your stomachs, for it is no boot,
\n182\u00a0 And place your hands below your lover\u2019s foot: *
\n183\u00a0 In token of which duty, if he please,
\n184\u00a0 My hand is ready, may it do him ease.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
