To a Domesticall Cowardly Coxcombe.

It saues thy head from many a bloudy knocke,
To play the Hen and let thy wife turne Cocke,
Thou dar'st not chide, thy wife hath tongue at will,
Thou dar'st not fight, thy wife hath Fencers skill,
Thou dar'st not speake, if she dislike thy speech,
Thou dar'st do nothing, she hath won the breech.
