All against the laws of matrimony,

She did abhor her husband's phis'nomy;

Aye me, the thought (quoth she) makes me so 'fraid,

That scarce the breath abideth in my breast;

Peace, my sweet love and wife, Jocundo said,

And weeps as fast, and comforts her his best, &c.

All this might not assuage the woman's pain,

Needs must I die before you come again,

Nor how to keep my life I can devise,

The doleful days and nights I shall sustain,
