X. The Wife.

The first of all our sexe came from the side of Man,
I thither am return'd from whence our sexe began.
I doe not visit oft. nor many vvhen I doe,
I tell my minde to fevv, and that in counsaile too,
I seeme not sicke in health, Nor sullen but in sorrow,
I care for some what else then what to weare to morrow.
