(55) Mariage.
Deepe witted menn, b'experience haue contrived,
that mariage good and quiet is ech hower,
where the mans heringe organs are deprived
of their right vse and sound receyving power,
and where is seeled vp the womans percing sights
that shee maie not behould her husbands sweet delights.

ffor since nature hath made that sex most fraile,
and subiect to tormentinge Ielousie,
vpon ech guiltles signe they will not fayle,
their loving husbands to suspect falselie;
yet if she could not see, but were by nature blinde,
such fonde conceites she would not harbor in her minde.

And if suspected mann were dombe to heere
the Iealous brawles of his vnquiet wife,
ech would embrace and hould the other deere,
wherbye they might obtayne a quiet life,
without which rare effects, swete mariage is a hell,
but linked with these guiftes, doth Paradice excell.
