Let husbands know, Their wives have sense like them: they see and smell, And have their palates both for sweet, and sour, As husbands have. | What is it that they do, When they change us for others? |
What is it that they do, When they change us for others? | Is it sport? I think it is. And doth affection breed it? I think it doth. Is’t frailty that thus errs? It is so too. |
Is it sport? I think it is. And doth affection breed it? I think it doth. Is’t frailty that thus errs? It is so too. | And have not we affections? Desires for sport? And frailty, as men have? |
And have not we affections? Desires for sport? And frailty, as men have? | Then let them use us well: else let them know, The ills we do, their ills instruct us so. |
