A scarecrow, set to frighten fools away;
Marriage has joys, and you shall have assay.
CHLORIS.
Sour sauce is often mixed with our delight;
You kick by day more than you kiss by night.
DAPHNIS.
Sham stories all; but say the worst you can,
A very wife fears neither God nor man.
CHLORIS.
But child-birth is, they say, a deadly pain;
It costs at least a month to knit again.
DAPHNIS.
Diana cures the wounds Lucina made;
Your goddess is a midwife by her trade.
