IX. _The Married Man._

I only am the man, among all married men,

That do not wish the Priest, to be unlinckt agen.

And thogh my shoo did wring,[141] I wold not make my mone,

Nor think my neighbors chance, more happy then mine own,

Yet court I not my wife, but yeeld obseruance due,

Being neither fond[142] nor crosse, nor iealous, nor vntrue.

[Footnote 141: = pinch. G.]

[Footnote 142: = foolish. G.]
