XXXVI.
[Second.]Albeit, without women, men were peers
To savage kind, and would but live to slay;
But woman oft the sprite of peace so cheers,
Blest with angelic joy, what angels they!
Go, take thee quickly to thy bed a wife,
Be banned, or highly blest, in proving married life.
Another Minstrel's Song, by Syr Thybbot Gorges.
