From application of our excellent oil:

So that, whatever be the fact, in fine,

We make no miss of justice in a sort.

First, let the husband stomach as he may,

His wife shall neither be returned him, no—

Nor branded, whipped and caged, but just consigned

To a convent and the quietude she craves;

So is he rid of his domestic plague:

What better thing can happen to a man?

Next, let the priest retire—unshent, unshamed.
