Æmil.

Yes, a dozen: and as many to'th'vantage, as

would store the world they plaid for.

But I do thinke it is their Husbands faults

If Wiues do fall: (Say, that they slacke their duties,

And powre our Treasures into forraigne laps;

Or else breake out in peeuish Iealousies,

Throwing restraint vpon vs: Or say they strike vs,

Or scant our former hauing in despight)

Why we haue galles: and though we haue some Grace,

Yet haue we some Reuenge. Let Husbands know,

Their wiues haue sense like them: They see, and smell,

And haue their Palats both for sweet, and sowre,

As Husbands haue. What is it that they do,

When they change vs for others? Is it Sport?

I thinke it is: and doth Affection breed it?
