A way to make my husband's favor come.
That is true: I was firm, withstood, refused ...
—Women as you are, how can I find the words?
I felt there was just one thing Guido claimed
I had no right to give nor he to take;
We being in estrangement, soul from soul:
Till, when I sought help, the Archbishop smiled,
Inquiring into privacies of life,
—Said I was blamable—(he stands for God)
Nowise entitled to exemption there.
