How many instruments cannot clever women play upon
I ain’t a speeder of matrimony
Opened a wider view of the world to him, and a colder
Serene presumption
The Pilgrim’s Scrip remarks that: Young men take joy in nothing
Threats of prayer, however, that harp upon their sincerity
To be passive in calamity is the province of no woman
Unaccustomed to have his will thwarted
Women are swift at coming to conclusions in these matters
