Yes, a dozen; and as many to th’ vantage as 95
would store the world they played for. 96
[But I do think it is their husbands’ faults 97
If wives do fall. Say that they slack their duties, 98
And pour our treasures into foreign laps; 99
Or else break out in peevish jealousies, 100
Throwing restraint upon us. Or say they strike us, 101
Or scant our former having in despite. 102
Why, we have galls, and though we have some grace, 103
Yet have we some revenge. Let husbands know 104
Their wives have sense like them. They see, and 105
smell, 106
And have their palates both for sweet and sour, 107
As husbands have. What is it that they do 108
When they change us for others? Is it sport? 109
I think it is. And doth affection breed it? 110
I think it doth. Is ’t frailty that thus errs? 111
It is so too. And have not we affections, 112
Desires for sport, and frailty, as men have? 113
Then let them use us well. Else let them know, 114
The ills we do, their ills instruct us so.] 115
