20 [Men, more divine, the masters] of all these,

Lords of the wide world and [wild watery] seas,

Indued with intellectual sense and [souls],

Are masters to their females, and their lords:

25 Then let your will attend on their accords.

Adr. This servitude makes you to keep unwed.

Luc. Not this, but troubles of the marriage-bed.

Adr. But, were you wedded, you would bear some sway.
