Hippolytus, 430.
Marry, go to, yea, marry—and then die
By poison at a woman's hand or wiles.
Cretan Women, 467.
Those men who mate with women better born
Or wed great riches, know not how to wed;
For when the woman's part doth rule the house,
The man's a slave; large dowers are worse than none,
Seeing they make divorce more difficult.
Melanippide, 513.
To mate a youth with a young wife is ill;
Seeing a man's strength lasteth, while the bloom
Of beauty quickly leaves a woman's form.
Æolus, 22.
