The Vertuous Wife is the glory of her Husband; OR, A good woman in her proper Colours.
Who for Beauty, Modesty and Grace,
Her comely Carriage, and her vertuous Life,
Was nere ashamed yet, for to shew her face,
And own her name, (The good and Vertuous Wife.)

Many Daughters have done vertuously, but thou excellest them all.
