VVomen.

The frail tribe, softer sex. Fair afflictions. Beauteous troubles. Frail Corporation. Weaker vessels. Oversight of nature. Mistake of nature. Disgrace of reasonablenesse. Obstinate cowards, slave born tyrants. Shops of vanity, gilded weathercocks. In whom conscience is but peevishnesse, chastity, Way wardnesse. A bad wife is The Hectick feaver, not to be be cured, but by death, Like Falcons stooping to a gaudy lute. VVenders of nature when they wrong her not. The best of goods, or else the worst of evils. Glorious angels, or else cursed devils. None more desire honour, or worse keep it. That most desire what you most deny, And most contemne, what comes most easily. That carry a pedlars shop about them. Names of beauteous women.
