Upon the favoured ones. It is twice blest:

It blesses her that flirts, and him that’s flirted with.

It profiteth the husband better than

His deeds; and he becomes in truth renowned

The time his wife doth gad about and flirt

With men. It’s mightiest in the ugliest. Oh!

It is the attribute of love itself;

And wives do think themselves most loved when they

Do drive or walk with other man than they

Who are their lawful husbands. But, O wife!
