+THE BRIDE
+
+By Samuel Rowlands
+
+With an Introductory Note by Alfred Claghorn Potter
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+_Introductory Note_
+
+When the complete works of Samuel Rowlands were issued by the
+Hunterian Club in 1872-1880, in an edition of two hundred and ten copies,
+the Editor was obliged to omit from the collection the poem entitled
+"The Bride." No copy of this tract was supposed to be extant. Twenty
+years later, in the article on Rowlands in the Dictionary of National
+Biography, Mr. Sidney Lee also names this poem as one of the author's
+lost works. All that was known of it was the entry in the Stationers'
+Register: [Footnote: _Arber's Transcript, vol. iii. p. 609_.]
+
+   "22 [degrees] Maij 1617
+"Master Pauier. Entred for his Copie vnder the handes
+ of master TAUERNOR and both the wardens, A Poeme
+ intituled _The Bride_, written by SAMUELL ROWLANDE vj'd."
+
+While all of Rowlands's works are classed by bibliographers as "rare,"
+this one seemed to have disappeared entirely. No copy was to be
+found in any of the large libraries or private collections, nor was there
+any record of its sale.
+
+Last spring a copy was discovered in the catalogue of a bookseller in a
+small German town, and was secured for the Harvard College Library,
+being purchased from the Child Memorial Fund. The copy is perfect,
+except that the inner corner at the top of the second and third leaves
+has been torn off, with the loss of parts of two words, which have
+been supplied in manuscript. From this copy the present reprint is
+made. As in the Hunterian Club edition of Rowlands's Works, to which
+this may be considered a supplement, the reprint is exact. The general
+makeup of the book as to style and size of type has been followed as
+closely as possible; and the text has been reproduced page for page
+and word for word. The misprints, which are unusually numerous, even
+for a book of this period, have been left uncorrected. The title-page
+and the two head-pieces have been reproduced by photography.
+
+Of the poem itself, since it is now before the reader, little need be
+said. It cannot be claimed that it presents great poetical merit.
+Rowlands at his best was but an indifferent poet,--hardly more
+than a penny-a-liner. In his satirical pieces and epigrams, and in
+that bit of genuine comedy, "Tis Merrie vvhen Gossips meete," his
+work does have a real literary value, and is distinctly interesting as
+presenting a vivid picture of London life at the beginning of the
+seventeenth century. In "The Bride," it must be confessed, Rowlands
+falls below his own best work. Yet the poem is by no means wholly
+lacking in interest. If not his best work, "The Bride" is by no means
+his worst. Like most of his poems, it is written in an heroic stanza
+of six lines, and, as is not so common with him, is in dialogue form.
+The dialogue for the most part is well sustained and sprightly. The
+story of the birth of Merlin, it is true, seems to have been inserted
+mainly to fill out the required number of pages; but this digression has an
+interest of its own, in that the name here given to Merlin's mother,
+"Lady Adhan," does not appear in the ordinary versions of the legend.
+
+Of Rowlands's life almost nothing is known: that little is told in the
+Memoir by Mr. Gosse prefixed to the Hunterian Club edition, and by
+Mr. Lee in the Dictionary of National Biography, and need not be
+repeated here. All that is known with certainty is that Samuel
+Rowlands was a writer of numerous poems and pamphlets, published
+between the years 1598 and 1628. During this period there appeared
+almost every year a pamphlet bearing his name or the well known initials,
+"S. R." Twenty-eight separate works, of which many passed through
+several editions, are known to have been written by him. All of these
+early editions are rare; at least two of the works have been lost; several
+are extant only in the second or later editions; and of at least ten, only
+single copies are known to exist. Beside the edition of the Works already
+referred to, a number of Rowlands's tracts have been separately reprinted,
+in limited editions, by Sir Walter Scott, by S. W. Singer, by
+E. V. Utterson, by Halliwell-Phillipps, by J. P. Collier, and by
+E. F. Rimbault in the publications of the Percy Society; to this series
+of reprints, "The Bride" is now added.

+THE BRIDE
+BY S.R.
+
+LONDON
+Printed by W. I. for T. P. 1617
+
+
+
+THE BRIDE TO ALL MAYDES.
+
+  Not out of bubble blasted Pride,
+  Doe I oppose myselfe a Bride,
+  In scornefull manner with vpbraides:
+  Against all modest virgin maides.
+  As though I did dispise chast youth,
+  This is not my intent of truth,
+  I know they must liue single liues,
+  Before th'are graced to be wiues.
+  But such are only touch'd by me,
+  That thinke themselues as good as wee:
+  And say girles, Weomens fellows arr,
+  Nay sawcely, Our betters farr:
+  Yea will dispute, they are as good,
+  Such Wenches vex me to the blood,
+  And are not to be borne with all:
+  Those I doe here in question call,
+  Whome with the rules of reasons Arte:
+  He teach more wit before we part,
+  Sylence, of kindnes I beseech,
+  Doe you finde eares, and weele finde speach.
+
+
+
+
+
+THE BRIDE
+
+
+Virgins, and fellow maydes (that were of late)
+   Take kindly heere my wedding dayes a dew,
+   I entertayne degree aboue your state:
+For Marriage life's beyond the single crew,
+  Bring me to Church as custome sayes you shall,
+   And then as wife, farewell my wenches all.
+
+I goe before you vnto Honour now,
+And _Hymen's_ Rites with ioy doe vndertake
+For life, I make the constant Nuptiall vow,
+Striue you to follow for your credits sake,
+   For greater grace to Womankind is none
+   Then Ioyne with husband, faithfull two in one.
+
+God Honoured thus, our great Grand-mother _Eue_
+And gaue thereby the blessing of increase,
+For were not mariage we must all beleeue,
+The generations of the earth would cease.
+   Mankind should be extinguish'd and decreas'd
+   And all the world would but consist of beast.
+
+Which caused me to finde my Mayden folly,
+And having found it, to reforme the same:
+Though some of you, thereat seeme melancholy
+That I for ever doe renounce your name.
+  I not respect what censure you can giue,
+   Since with a loving Man I meane to liue.
+
+Whose kindest heart, to me is worth you all,
+Him to content, my soule in all things seekes,
+Say what you please, exclaiming chide and brall,
+Ile turne disgrace unto your blushing cheekes.
+   I am your better now by _Ring_ and _Hatt_,
+   No more playn _Rose_, but _Mistris_ you know what.
+
+Marrie therefore and yeald increase a store,
+Else to what purpose weare you breed and borne:
+Those that receaue, and nothing giue therefore:
+Are fruitles creatures, of contempt and scorne,
+   The excellence of all things doth consist,
+   In giuing, this no reason can resist.
+
+The glorious Sun, in giving forth his light,
+The Earth in plants, and hearbs & countles things
+The trees their fruit, The _Empresse_ of the Night
+_She_ bountious gives to rivers flouds and springs,
+   And all that heaven, and all that earth containes,
+   Their goodnes, in Increase of guifts explaynes.
+
+But what doe you that neither give nor take,
+(As only made for hearing, and for seeing,)
+Although created helpers for Mans sake:
+Yet Man no whit the better for your being,
+   That spend consume and Idle out your howers,
+   Like many garden-paynted vselesse flowers.
+
+Your liues are like those worthles barren trees,
+That never yeald (from yeare to yeare) but leaues:
+Greene-bowes vpon them only all men sees,
+But other goodnes there is none receaues,
+   They flourish sommer and they make a showe,
+   Yet to themselues they fruitles spring & growe.
+
+Consider beast, and fish and foule, all creatures,
+How there is male and female of their kinde,
+And how in loue they doe inlarge their natures:
+Even by constrayn'd necessity inclyn'd:
+   To paire and match, and couple tis decreed,
+   To stocke and store the earth, with what they breed.
+
+In that most powerfull word, still power doth lye,
+To whose obedience all must subiect bee,
+That sayd at first, _Increase and multiply_,
+Which still enduers from age to age we see:
+   Dutie obligeth every one should frame,
+   To his dread will, that did commaund the same.
+
+_It is not good for Man to be alone_,
+Sayd that great God, who only knowes whats best:
+And therefore made a wife of _Adams_ bone,
+While he reposing slept, with quyet rest,
+   Which might presage, the great Creator ment,
+   In their coniunction, sume of earths content,
+
+
+_Mistris Susan_.
+
+Good _Mistris Bride_, now we haue hard your speach
+In commendation of your Nuptiall choyse,
+Giue me a little favour I beseech,
+To speake vnto you with a Virgins voyce:
+   Though diuers elder maydes in place there be,
+  Yet ile begin, trusting they'le second me.
+
+We are your fellows but to Church you say,
+As custome is that maydes, should bring the _Bride_
+And for no longer then the wedding day,
+You hould with vs, but turne to tother side:
+   Boasting of Honour you affend vnto,
+   And so goe forward making much adoe.
+
+But this vnto you lustly I obiect,
+In the defence of each beloued mayde,
+_Virginity_, is life of chast respect,
+No worldly burden thereupon is layd:
+  Our syngle life, all peace and quiet bringes,
+   And we are free from carefull earthly things.
+
+We may doe what we please, goe where we list,
+Without pray _husband will you giue me leaue_
+Our resolutions no man can resist,
+Our own's our owne, to giue or to receiue,
+   We live not under this same word obay:
+   _Till Death depart us_, at our dying day.
+
+We may delight in fashion, weare the same,
+And chuse the stuffe of last devised sale:
+Take Taylors counsell in it free from blame,
+And cast it off assone as it growes stale:
+   Goe out, come in, and at selfe pleasure liue,
+   And kindly take, what kind youngmen do giue.
+
+Wee have no checking churlish taunts to feare us,
+We have no grumbling at our purse expence:
+We seeke no misers favour to forbeare us,
+We use no houshold wranglings and offence:
+   We have no cocke to over crowe our combe,
+
+
+_Cate_.
+
+Well said good _Susan_, now thou pay'st her home.
+
+
+_Bride_.
+
+A little favour pray, good _Mistris Sue_,
+You haue a time to heare aswell as speake:
+You challenge more by odds then is your due,
+And stand on Arguments are childish weake:
+   Of freedome, liberty, and all content,
+   But in the aire your breath is vainely spent.
+
+It is your shame to bost you haue your will,
+And that you are in feare of no controwle,
+Your cases _Sufan_, are more bad and ill,
+Most dangerous to body and to soule:
+   A woman to her will hath oft bin try'd,
+   To run with errour, on the left hand side.
+
+Pray did not danger then to _Eue_ befall,
+When she tooke liberty without her heda,
+The _Serpent_ ouercame her therwithall,
+And thorow will, she wilfull was misled:
+   Yelding assoone as _Sathan_ did intice,
+   And of her husband neuer tooke aduise.
+
+In wit to men we are inferiour far,
+For arts for learning, and Ingenious things,
+No rare Inuentions in our braynes there are,
+That publique profit to a kingdome brings:
+   Tis they that must all callings execute,
+   And wee of all their labours reape the fruite.
+
+They are Diuines for soules true happines,
+They Maiestraites to right offensiue wronges,
+They souldiers for their martiall valiantnes,
+They artizans, for all to vse belonges:
+   They husbandmen to worke the earths increase,
+   And they the some of womens ioye and peace.
+
+And shall not we performe obedience then?
+As wee are bound by law of God and nature,
+Yealding true harts affection unto men,
+Ordain'd to rule and gouerne euery creature:
+   Why then of all on earth that liue and moue,
+   We should degenerate and monsters proue.
+
+
+_Besse_.
+
+Monsters (forsoth) nere sleepe in maidens beds,
+But they are lodged with your married wiues,
+The knotty browes, and rugged butting heds,
+Concerne not vs, professing single liues,
+   To learne your horne-booke we have no deuotion
+  Keepe monsters to your selues, we scorne the motion.
+
+
+_Bride_.
+
+Besse, of such shapes, when your turne coms to marry
+A carefull mynd, in choyse of husband beare,
+For if your browes from former smothnes varry,
+Thinke on this speach, _It commeth with a feare:_
+   Which I am past, perplexe me no feare can.
+   Being sure I haue a constant honest man.
+
+
+_Iane_.
+
+Belieue you haue, and t'is enough they say,
+But you and I agree not in a mynde,
+I read in storyes men will run astray,
+Yet make their foolish wiues beleeue th'are kind:
+   And therefore since they are so cunning knowne
+   He keepe my selfe a maide and trust to none.
+
+Had I one sutor swore himselfe loue-sicke,
+Another for his Mistris sake would die,
+A third thorow _Cupids_ power growne lunaticke,
+A fourth that languishing past hope did lye:
+   And so fift, sixt, and seauenth in loues passion,
+   My Maiden-head for them should ner'e change fashion.
+
+_Aeneas_ told many a cogging tale,
+To Dido that renowned worthy Queene,
+And _Iason_ with his flatterings did preuaile,
+Yet falser knaues in loue were neuer seene:
+   And at this instant hower, as they were then,
+   The world aboundeth with deceitfull men.
+
+
+_Doll_.
+
+_Iane_, thats too true, for to you all I sweare,
+How I was bobd by one tis shame to tell,
+A smoother fellow neuer wench did heare,
+And as I liue, I thought he lou'd me well:
+   Heere you shall fee one of his cunning letters,
+   Which still I keepe, & meane to shew his betters.
+
+In Romane hand, on guilded paper writ,
+Pray _Dorothy_ read you it to the rest,
+But whether his owne head inuented it,
+Or robd some printed Booke, I doe protest:
+   I cannot tell, but his owne name is to it,
+   Which proues he takes vpon him for to doe it.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+The Loue Letter.
+
+_The truest heart, shall nought but falshood cherish,
+The mildest man, a cruell tyrant prooue,
+The water drops, the hardest flint shall perish,
+The hilles shall walke, and massie earth remooue:
+   The brightest Sun shall turne to darkesome clowde,
+   Ere I prooue false, where I my loue haue vowde._
+
+_Ere I prooue false, the world desolu'd shall be,
+To that same nothing that it was before,
+Ere I prooue false mine eyes shall cease to see,
+And breath of life shall breath in me no more:
+   The strong built frame shall moue from his foundation
+   Ere I remoue my soules determination._
+
+_Death shall forget to kill, and men to dye,
+Condemned soules shall laugh, and cease to mourne,
+The lowest hell shall rise and meete the skye,
+Time shall forget his course and backe returne:
+   Contrary vnto kinde each thing shall proue,
+   Ere I be false or once forget my loue._
+
+_Oh then deare heart regard my sad estate,
+My passions griefe and wofull lamentation,
+Oh pittie me ere pittie come too late,
+That hold thee deare past mans imagination:
+   Preserue my life and say that thou wilt haue me,
+   Or else I die the whole world cannot saue me_.
+
+
+_Grace_.
+
+This is a Ballad I haue heard it sung.
+
+
+_Doll_.
+
+Well, be or be not, that's not to the matter,
+But who will trust a louers pen or tongue,
+That vse all protestations thus to flatter:
+   For this base fellow that was so perplext,
+   Sent this one monday, and was married next.
+
+
+_Sara_.
+
+Now out vpon him most dissembling creature,
+Ile warrant you that he can neuer thriue,
+He showes himselfe, euen of as bad a nature,
+As euer was in any man aliue:
+   Alas poore foole that hath this fellow got,
+   Shee hath a Iewell of him, hath she not?
+
+
+_Nell_.
+
+Yes surely hath she, (waying all things deepe,)
+A louer that will tast as sweete as gall,
+One that is better farre to hang then keepe,
+And I perswade me you doe thinke so all:
+   Excepting onely partiall _Mistris Bride_,
+   For she stands stoutly to the married side.
+
+_Bride_.
+
+So farre as reason, and as right requires,
+I will defend them both by word and deede,
+Yet haue I no apology for lyers,
+And ill conditions that false hearts doe breede:
+   "All that are married be not faithfull kinde,
+    Nor all vnmarried, are not chast in minde."
+
+Are there not maids (vpon your coscience speake?)
+Knowne to your selues as well as you knowe me,
+Will vowe their loue to men, and falsly breake,
+Which in the number of your _Virgins_ be,
+   That will delude some halfe a score young men,
+   And hauing gull'd them, take some other then.
+
+I will not name her was in loue with ten,
+But in your eares i'le note her secret; harke,
+She had both Courtiers, Cockneys, Country-men,
+Yet in the ende a Saylor boards her Barke:
+   And therefore put not men in all the blame,
+   But speake the trueth, and so the diuell shame.
+
+_Grace_.
+
+I knowe the partie well that you doe meane,
+And thus much for her I dare boldly say,
+To diuers sutors though she seemed to leane,
+To trye her fortunes out the wisest way:
+   Yet did she neuer plight her faith to any,
+   But vnto him she had, among so many:
+
+And ther's no doubt but diuers doe as she,
+Your selfe in conscience, haue had more then one,
+To whom in shewe you would familiar be,
+And comming to the point why you would none:
+Ciuilitie allowes a courteous cariage,
+To such as proffer loue by way of marriage.
+
+An affable behauiour may be vsed,
+And kinde requitall answere kinde deseart,
+And yet no honest man thereby abused,
+With fained showes, as if he had the heart:
+   When there is purpose of no such intent
+   To gull him with his time and mony spent.
+
+_Mall_.
+
+Were I to giue maides counsell, they to take it,
+And that they would consent to doe as I,
+Who offered us his loue, we would forsake it,
+And like _Dianes Nymphs_ would liue and die:
+   For I protest your louers should haue none,
+   But wiues and widdowes to put tricks vpon.
+
+We would reuenge the crafty double dealing,
+Thousands of harmelesse virgins doe endure,
+By their deceitfull art of kinde-hart stealing,
+Keeping our loues vnto our selues secure:
+   And credit to their vowes, should be no other,
+   But in at one eare, and goe out at t'other.
+
+_Bride_.
+
+This you would doe, and y'are in that minde now,
+But I perswade me tis but rashly spoken,
+And therefore _Mary_ make no foolish vow,
+For if you doe in conscience t'will be broken:
+   Say you doe meane to keepe you free from man,
+   But to be sure, still put in _If you can_.
+
+Or else you may presume aboue your power,
+Twixt words and deedes, great difference often growes,
+You may be taken such a louing hower,
+Your heart may all be _Cupids_ to dispose:
+   Then vve shall haue you sicke, & pine and grieue,
+   And nothing but a husband can relieue.
+
+Aske but your elders that are gone before,
+And the'le say marry maide as we haue done,
+Twixt twelue and twenty open loue the doore,
+And say you vvere not borne to liue a Nonne:
+   Vnperfect female, liuing odde you are,
+   Neuer true euen, till you match and paire.
+
+Iust-_Nature_ at the first this course did take,
+Woman and man deuided were in twaine,
+But by vniting both did sweetely make,
+Deuisions blisse contenfull to remaine,
+   Which well made lawe of _Nature_ and of kinde,
+   To matters reasonles doe nothing binde.
+
+Nothing vnfit, nothing vniust to doe,
+But all in order orderly consisting,
+Then what seeme they that wil not ioine their two
+And so be one, without vnkinde resisting:
+   Surely no other censure passe I can,
+   But she's halfe woman liues without a man.
+
+One, that depriues her selfe of whats her right,
+Borne vnto care, and ignorant of ease,
+A lustlesse liuing thing, without delight,
+One, whom vnpleasantnesse best seemes to please:
+   Depriu'd of lifes sweete ioy, from kind remoued,
+   Of worthlesse parts, vnworthy to be loued.
+
+Who will in paine pertake with such a one,
+(Whom we may most vnhappy creature call,)
+Who will assist her, when her griefe makes mone,
+Or who vphold her if she chance to fall:
+   The burthen one doth beare is light to two,
+   For twisted cordes are hardest to vndoe.
+
+The loue and ioy doth absolute remaine,
+That in posteritie is fixed fast,
+For thou in children art new borne againe,
+When yeeres haue brought thee to thy breath-spent last:
+   Those oliue plants, shall from each other spring,
+   Till _Times_ full period endeth euery thing.
+
+This being thus, what sencelesse girles you be,
+To iustifie a life not worth embracing,
+Opposing silly maiden wits gainst me,
+That will not yeelde an ynch to your out-facing:
+   For were heere present all the maydes in towne,
+   With marriage reasons I would put them down.
+
+_Prudence_.
+
+Kinke sisters all, now I haue heard the _Bride_,
+Will you haue my opinion, not to flatter,
+Sure I am turning to the wedding side,
+I heare such good sound reason for the matter:
+   Let _Grace_, _Doll_, _Besse_, and _Susan_, _Mary_, _Iane_,
+   Leade apes in hell, I am not of their vaine.
+
+As sure as death ile ioyne my selfe with man,
+For I perswade me tis a happy life,
+Ile be a Bride vvith all the speede I can,
+It's vvonder how I long to be a vvife:
+_Grace_ heer's good counsell, had you grace to take it
+   _Susan_ tis sound, oh _Besse_ doe not forfake it.
+
+Good husband-men vve see doe euer vse,
+To chuse for forfit those that breede the best,
+And none vvill keepe bad breeders that can chuse,
+Euen so your fowlers that often brood the nest,
+   Are most esteem'd, & their kinds worthiest thoght
+   All barren things, by all are counted nought.
+
+Who plantes an orchard vvith vnfruitfull trees,
+None but a madman so vvill vvast his ground,
+Or vvho sowes corne vvhere onely sand he sees,
+Assured that there vvill no increase be found:
+   And in a vvord all that the vvorld containes,
+   Haue excellence in their begetting gaines.
+
+For my part therefore I resolue me thus,
+Vnto the purpose I was borne, ile liue,
+All maydes are fooles that vvill not ioyne vvith vs,
+And vnto men their right of marriage giue:
+   Most vvorthy Bride, here is my hand and vow,
+   I loue a man in heart, as vvell as thou.
+
+_Francis_.
+
+_Prudence_, I am of your opinion iust,
+A vvif's farre better than a matchlesse maide,
+Ile stay no longer virgin then needes must,
+The law of Nature ought to be obayde:
+   Either vve must haue inward loue to men,
+   Or else beare hate, and so be brutish then.
+
+Doth not the vvorld instruct vs this by others,
+That vvedlocke is a remedy for sinne,
+Shall vve be vviser then our reuerent mothers,
+That married, or we all had bastards bin:
+   And ere our mothers lost their maiden Iemme,
+   Did not our grandhams euen as much for them.
+
+From whence haue you the gift to liue vnwed,
+Pray of what stuffe are your straight bodies made,
+By what chast spirit was your nicenesse bred,
+That seeme of flesh to be so purely stayde:
+   Are not all here made females for like ends,
+   Fye, fye for shame, disemble not with friends.
+
+Ile tell you one thing which by proofe I knowe,
+My mother had a cocke that vs'd to roame,
+And all the hens would to our neighbours goe,
+We could not keepe them for our liues at home:
+   Abroad they went, though we wold nere so saine
+   Vntill by chance we got our cocke againe.
+
+And so my fathers pigeons in like sort,
+Our matchlesse hens about would euer flye,
+To paire with other doues they would resort,
+(Pray laugh not _Susan_, for it is no lye)
+   I haue it not from other folkes relation,
+   But from mine owne, and mothers obseruation.
+
+_Susan_.
+
+I laugh that you compare vs to your hens,
+Or straying pigions that abroad haue flowne,
+To seeke about for cocks of other mens,
+Because (you say) they wanted of their owne:
+   But _Francke_, though you like them be francke and free,
+   You must not iudge all other so to be.
+
+We doe not vse to hunt abroad for cockes,
+But rather shun the places where they be,
+The prouerbe sayes, _let geese beware the fox_,
+Tis easie making prayes of such as we:
+   That will not keepe them from the charmers charme
+   Mens flatteries doe maiden-heads much harme.
+
+_Bride_.
+
+Flatterers are of all to be reiected,
+As well of wiues as you that are but maydes,
+We praise not faults wherewith men are infected,
+Nor yeeld applause to euery one perswades:
+   Our praysing men thus vnderstand you must,
+   Tis meant of those are honest, louing, iust.
+
+Why there are men doe erre in what you hold,
+Chast batchelers that neuer meane to match,
+Who for the siugle life smooth tales haue told,
+And yet the fleshly knaues will haue a snatch:
+   Ile ne're trust those that of themselues doe boast,
+   The great'st presisians will deceiue you most.
+
+I knew a prating fellow would maintaine,
+A married man had but two merry dayes,
+His wedding day the ioyfull first of twaine,
+For then God giue you ioy, euen all men sayes:
+   The second merry day of married life,
+   Is that whereon he burieth his wife.
+
+And woemen vnto shippes he would compare,
+Saying as they continually lacke mending,
+So wiues still out of repairations are,
+And vrge their husbands daily vnto spending:
+   Yea worse disgrace, he would presume to speake:
+   Which I will spare, least I offend the weake.
+
+But note the badnesse of this wretches life,
+That counted woemen abiect things forsaken,
+He raune away at last with's neighbours wife,
+Worthy of hanging were the rascall taken:
+   Such odious actes haue such dishonest mates,
+   that against marriage, rude and senceles prates.
+
+But you most wilfull wenches that oppose,
+Against the state that you are borne to honour,
+A prophesie vnto you Ile disclose,
+And she that here doth take most nice vpon her:
+   Pray note it well, for there is matter in it,
+   And for to doe you good thus I beginne it.
+
+When fish with fowle change elements together,
+The one forsaking aire, the other water,
+And they that woare the finne, to weare the feather,
+Remaining changelings all the worlds time after:
+   The course of nature will be so beguilde,
+   One maide shall get another maide with childe.
+
+When euery Crow shall turne to be a Parret,
+And euery Starre out-shine the glorious Sunne,
+And the new water works runne white and clarret,
+That come to towne by way of _Islington_,
+   Woemen and men shall quite renounce each other.
+   And maides shall bee with childe, like _Merlins_ mother.
+
+_Grace_.
+
+Like _Merlins_ mother, how was that I pray,
+For I haue heard he was a cunning man,
+There lines not snch another at this day,
+   Nor euer was, since _Brittans_ first began:
+   Tell vs the story, and we well will minde it.
+   Because they say, _In written bookes we finde it_.
+
+_Bride_.
+
+Marry this _Merlins_ mother was welsh Lady,
+That liued in _Carnaruan_ beautious maide,
+And loue of Lords and Knights shee did not way by,
+But set all light, and euery one denay'd:
+   All Gentlemen, (as all you knowe be there,)
+   That came a wooing were no wit the neere.
+
+At length it hapned that this gallant girle,
+Which scorned all men that she euer saw,
+Holding her selfe to be a matchlesse Pearle,
+And such a Loadestone that could Louers draw:
+   Grew belly-full, exceeding bigge and plumpe,
+   Which put her Mayden-credit in a dumpe.
+
+Time running course, and her full stomacke fed,
+When consumation of fewe months expired,
+Shee husbandlesse, a mayde was brought to bed,
+Of that rare _Merlin_ that the world admired:
+   This to be honest, all her friends did doubt it,
+   Much prittle prattle was in _Wales_ about it.
+
+So that ere long, the strangnes of the thing,
+To heare that Lady _Adhan_ had a childe,
+Caus'd famous _Arthur_ (being Brittans King)
+Send for her to the Court, and reason milde:
+   To know how this rare matter could be done,
+   And make her finde a father for her sonne.
+
+She told his Maiestie with sighes and teares,
+That keeping beautie carefull from the Sunne,
+Within her chamber safely shut from feares,
+Till _Phoebus_ horses to the West were runne:
+   The doores fast lock'd, and she her selfe alone,
+   Came in a gallant stranger, meere vnknowne.
+
+Who euer came in courting manner to her,
+With all the louing courage could be thought:
+So powerfull in perswasions force to woe her,
+That to his will constrained she was brought:
+   Although her heart did firme deniall vow,
+   Yet she was forc'd to yeeld and knew not how.
+
+So oft he came (quoth she) priuate and strange,
+When I shut vp my selfe in most sad humor,
+That I began to finde an inward change,
+Which brought me quickly to an outward tumor:
+   An't please your highnes I was in such case,
+   That to the world I durst not show my face.
+
+My foes reioyced, all my friends were sad,
+My selfe in sorrow spent both day and night,
+No satisfaction my wrong'd honour had,
+Was neuer maide in such perplexed plight:
+   To be with child whether I will or no,
+   And for my child, no humane father know.
+
+Had I bin married (quoth she) as I ought,
+And with my loue, the loue of man requited,
+I had not to this woefull state bin brought,
+In all contempt, disgracefully despighted:
+   And tearmed strumpet by the rude vnciuill,
+   Who say my sonne is bastard to the diuell.
+
+Wherefore I wish Ladies of my degree,
+And all the rest inferiour sorts of maydes,
+To take a warning (for their good) by me,
+Yeelding affection when kind men perswades:
+   And hate disdaine that vile accursed sin,
+   Least they be plagu'd for pride as I haue bin.
+
+How say you to this warning wenches now,
+That Lady _Adhan_ giues vnto you all,
+Were you not better marriage to allow,
+Then in a manner for a Midwife call:
+   I thinke you were if I might iudge the cause,
+   How say you _Susan_, speake good _Doll_ and _Grace_.
+
+_Grace_.
+
+This is a story that seemes very strange,
+And for my part, it doth me full perswade,
+My Mayden-head with some man to exchange,
+I will not liue in danger of a mayde:
+   The world the flesh, the diuell tempts vs still,
+   Ile haue a husband, I protest I will.
+
+If I were sure none of you here would blabbe,
+I would euen tell you of a dreame most true,
+And if I lye, count me the veriest drabbe,
+That euer any of you saw or knewe:
+   When a friend speakes in kindnes do not wrong her:
+   For I can keepe it (for my life) no longer.
+
+One night (I haue the day of moneth set downe)
+Because I will make serious matters sure,
+Me thought I went a iourney out of towne,
+And with a propper man I was made sure:
+   As sure as death, me thought we were assured,
+   And all things for the businesse were procured.
+
+We did agree, and faith and troath did plight,
+And he gaue me, and I gaue him a Ring,
+To doe as _Mistris Bride_ will doe at night,
+And I protest me thought he did the thing:
+   The thing we stand so much vpon he tooke,
+   And I vpon the matter bigge did looke.
+
+Forsooth (in sadnes,) I was bigge with childe,
+And had a belly, (marry God forbid,)
+Then fell a weeping, but he laught and smil'd,
+And boldly said, weele stand to what we did:
+   Fye, fye (quoth I) who euer stands I fall,
+   Farewell my credit, maydenhead and all.
+
+Thus as I cry'd and wept and wrong my hands,
+And said deare maydes and maydenhead adue,
+Before my face me thought my mother stands,
+And question'd with me how this matter grew:
+   With that I start awake as we are now,
+   Yet feard my dreame had bin no dreame I vow.
+
+I could not (for my life) tell how to take it,
+For I was stricken in a mightie maze,
+Therefore if marriage come Ile not forsake it,
+Tis danger to liue virgin diuers wayes,
+   I would not in such feare againe be found,
+   Without a husband, for a thousand pound.
+
+_Susan_.
+
+Is it euen so _Grace_, are you come to this,
+You that perswaded me from loue of late,
+When you knew who, sent me a Ring of his:
+And would haue had me bin his turtle mate,
+   You cunningly did make me to forsake him,
+   Because I thinke in conscience you will take him.
+
+Ile trust your word another time againe,
+That can dissemble so against your heart,
+Wishing that I should earnestly refraine,
+From that which thou thy selfe embracer art:
+   This is braue doing, I commend you _Grace_,
+   But ile nere trust you more in such a case.
+
+_Bride_.
+
+I pray you here let this contention ende,
+(We being all of selfe same woman kind,)
+And each the other, with aduise befriend,
+Because I see some of you well enclin'd:
+   To take good wayes, and so become good wiues,
+   Ile teach you certaine rules to leade your liues.
+
+You that intend the honourable life,
+And vvould vvith ioy liue happy in the same,
+Must note eight duties doe concerne a wife,
+To vvhich vvith all endeuour she must frame:
+   And so in peace possesse her husbands loue,
+   And all distast from both their hearts remooue.
+
+The first is that she haue domestique cares,
+Of priuate businesse for the house vvithin,
+Leauing her husband vnto his affaires,
+Of things abroad that out of doores haue bin:
+   By him performed as his charge to doe,
+   Not busie-body like inclin'd thereto.
+
+Nor intermedling as a number will,
+Of foolish gossips, such as doe neglect,
+The things which doe concerne them, and too ill,
+Presume in matters vnto no effect:
+   Beyond their element, when they should looke,
+   To what is done in Kitchin by the Cooke.
+
+Or vnto childrens vertuous education,
+Or to their maides that they good huswiues be,
+And carefully containe a decent fashion,
+That nothing passe the lymmits of degree:
+   Knowing her husbands businesse from her own,
+   And diligent doe that, let his alone.
+
+The second dutie of the wife is this,
+(Which shee in minde ought very carefull beare)
+To entertaine in house such friends of his,
+As she doth know haue husbands welcome there:
+   Not her acquaintance without his consent,
+   For that way Iealousie breeds discontent.
+
+An honest woman will the scandall shun,
+Of that report is made of wantonnesse,
+And feare her credit will to ruine run,
+When euill speakers doe her shame expresse:
+   And therefore from this rule a practise drawes,
+   That the effect may cease, remoue the cause.
+
+Th'ird dutie is, that of no proude pretence,
+She moue her husband to consume his meanes,
+With vrging him to needlesse vaine expence,
+Which toward the Counter, or to Ludgate leanes:
+   For many ydle huswiues (London knowes)
+   Haue by their pride bin husbands ouerthrowes,
+
+A modest woman will in compasse keepe,
+And decently vnto her calling goe,
+Not diuing in the frugall purse too deepe,
+By making to the world a pecocke showe:
+   Though they seeme fooles, so yeelde vnto their wiues,
+   Some poore men doe it to haue quiet liues.
+
+Fourth dutie is, to loue her owne house best,
+And be no gadding gossippe vp and downe,
+To heare and carry tales amongst the rest,
+That are the newes reporters of the towne:
+   A modest vvomans home is her delight,
+   Of businesse there, to haue the ouersight.
+
+At publike playes she neuer will be knowne,
+And to be tauerne guest she euer hates,
+Shee scornes to be a streete-wife (Idle one,)
+Or field vvife ranging vvith her vvalking mates:
+   She knows how wise men censure of such dames,
+   And how with blottes they blemish their good names.
+
+And therefore with the doue sheele rather choose,
+To make aboade where she hath dwelling place,
+Or like the snayle that shelly house doeth vse,
+For shelter still, such is good-huswiues case:
+   Respecting residence where she doth loue,
+   As those good housholders, the snayle and doue.
+
+Fift dutie of a wife vnto her head,
+Is her ohedience to reforme his will,
+And neuer with a selfe conceit be led,
+That her aduise prooues good, his counsell ill:
+   In Iudgement being singular alone,
+   As hauing all the wit, her husband none.
+
+She must not thinke her wisedome to be thus,
+(For we alasie are weakelings vnto men)
+What singular good thing remaines in vs,
+Of wife ones in a thousand, show me ten,
+   Her stocke of wit, that hath the most (I say,)
+   Hath scarse enough for spending euery day.
+
+When as the husband bargaines hath to make,
+In things that are depending on his trade,
+Let not wifes boldnes, power vnto her take,
+As though no match were good but what she made
+   For she that thus hath oare in husbands boate,
+   Let her take breech, and giue him petti-coate.
+
+Sixt dutie is, to pacific his yre,
+although she finde that he empatient be,
+For hasty words, like fuell adde to fire,
+And more, and more insenceth wraths degree:
+   When she perceiues his choller in a fit,
+   Let her forbeare, and that's a signe of wit.
+
+Many occasions vnto men doe fall,
+Of aduerse crosses, woemen not conceiue,
+To find vs honny, they doe meete with gall,
+Their toyle for vs, doe their owne ioyes bereaue:
+   Great shame it were, that we should ad their woe,
+   That doe maintaine, and keepe, and loue vs so.
+
+If that a hasty word sometime be spoke,
+Let vs not censure therefore they are foes,
+Say tis infirmitie that doth prouoke,
+Their hearts are sorry for their tongues God knowes:
+   Since we by proofe each day and hower finde,
+   For one harsh word, they giue ten thousand kind
+
+The seuenth dutie that she must endeauour,
+Is to obserue her husbands disposition,
+And thereunto conforme her selfe for euer,
+In all obedient sort, with meeke submission:
+   Resoluing that as his conditions are,
+   Her rules of life she must according square.
+
+His vertues and good parts which she doth finde,
+shee must endeauor for to imitate,
+The vices whereunto he is enclin'd,
+Shee must in patience beare in milde estate:
+   So that the meekenesse of her louing carriage,
+   May be peace-maker, of all strife in marriage.
+
+She must not doe as foolish woemen vse,
+When they are met about the gossippes chat,
+Their absent husbands with their tongues abuse,
+But vtterly abhorre to offer that:
+   Resoluing that a husbands least disgrace,
+   Sould cause the wife to haue a blushing face.
+
+The eight last dutie she must take vpon her,
+To binde all t'other seauen to be done,
+Is loue and chiefe regard to husbands honour,
+Which if at true affection it begunne:
+   Then be he poore, or sicke, or in distresse,
+   Shee still remaines most firme in faithfulnesse.
+
+Best in aduersitie it will appeare,
+What constancy within the heart remaines,
+No testimonie can be found more cleare,
+Then friend in trouble rhat his loue explaines:
+   For such a one we may resolue is true,
+   That changeth not, though fortune turne from yon.
+
+And thus faire virgins, to you all farewell,
+What I haue spoken doe proceede from loue,
+The ioyes of marriage I want art to tell,
+And therefore no more talke, but try and proue:
+   With wedding rings, be wiues of credit knowne
+   God send good husbands to you euery one.
+
+_FINIS_.

+
+We produce about two million dollars for each hour we work.  The
+time it takes us, a rather conservative estimate, is fifty hours
+to get any eBook selected, entered, proofread, edited, copyright
+searched and analyzed, the copyright letters written, etc.   Our
+projected audience is one hundred million readers.  If the value
+per text is nominally estimated at one dollar then we produce $2
+million dollars per hour in 2002 as we release over 100 new text
+files per month:  1240 more eBooks in 2001 for a total of 4000+
+We are already on our way to trying for 2000 more eBooks in 2002
+If they reach just 1-2% of the world's population then the total
+will reach over half a trillion eBooks given away by year's end.
+
+The Goal of Project Gutenberg is to Give Away 1 Trillion eBooks!
+This is ten thousand titles each to one hundred million readers,
