On a young Peevish Wife.

A Young man married a cross piece of flesh, who not contented though her husband was very kind, made continuall complaints to her Father, to the great griefe of both Familyes; the husband being no longer able to indure this Scurvy humour, banged her soundly: hereupon she complained to her father, understanding well the perversness of her humour, took her to task, and laced her sides soundly; saying, go and commend me to your husband, and tell him I am now even with him, for I have cudgeled his Wife, as he hath beaten my Daughter.
