Who so to marry a minion Wyfe,
Hath hadde good chaunce and happe,
Must love hir and cherishe hir all his life,
And dandle hir in his lappe. 4
If she will fare well, yf she wyll go gay,
A good husbande ever styll,
What ever she lust to doe, or to say,
Must lette hir have hir owne will. 8
About what affaires so ever he goe,
He must shewe hir all his mynde,
None of hys counsell she may be kept fr[o]e,[620]
Else is he a man unkynde. 12
