Never let a man take hea∣vilyThe clamour of his wife,But if he doe please to learne of me,To live a merry life,Let her have a swingAll in a hempen string:Or when she begins to scold,Doe thou begin to sing,Fa, le, ra, la, la, fa, le, ra.
If nothing else will do't,'Twill keepe her tougue in awe,To sing, Fa, fa, la, la, le, ra.
It is the onely way to tame a shrew,And save a man the charg of many a blow,Fa, la, la, la, fa, la, la, le, ra.But if shee persist, and will have her well,Oh, then bang her, bang her, bang her still.
