THE WIFE.

The first of all our sex

Came from the side of man,

I thither am return'd

From whence our sex began.

I do not visit oft,

Nor many when I do,

I tell my mind to few

And that in counsel too.

I seem not sick in health,

Nor sullen but in sorrow;

I care for somewhat else

Than what to wear to-morrow.
