SOSTRATA.

So.

IN good sooth we women are all alike hated by our ••usbands, Because of a few: which makes us all seem wor••••ie of mis∣chief. For I swear, as for this that my husband new accuseth me, I am blamelesse,

But it is not an easie thing to be cleared: they have so perswaded them∣selves, that all [line 5] Mothers-in-law are naught: trulie I know nothing by my self; for I never dealt with her Otherwise, then if she had been born of my own bodie; neither do I know, how this should befall me. But indeed I earnestly expect my son, that he should return home.
