They, sometimes prove, sharpe whips, and Rods, to them,

That Wisdome, and Instruction doe contemne.

A Woman, was not given for Correction;

But, rather for a furtherance to Perfection:

A precious Balme of love, to cure Mans griefe;

And, of his Pleasures, to become the chiefe.

If, therefore, she occasion any smart,

The blame, he merits, wholly, or in part:

For, like sweet Honey, she, good Stomackes, pleases;

But, paines the Body, subject to Diseases.
