Here is a husband, ay and man of mark,

Who comes complaining here, demands redress

As if he were the pattern of desert—

The while those plaguy allegations frown,

Forbid we grant him the redress he seeks.

To all men be our moderation known!

Rewarding none while compensating each,

Hurting all round though harming nobody,

Husband, wife, priest, scot-free not one shall 'scape,

Yet priest, wife, husband, boast the unbroken head
