All maried men desire to have good wifes:
but few give good example by thir lives
They are owr head they wodd have us thir heles.
this makes the good wife kick the good man reles.
When god brought Eve to Adam for a bride
the text says she was taene from out mans side
A simbole of that side, whose sacred bloud.
flowed for his spowse, the Churches savinge good.
This is a misterie, perhaps too deepe
for blockish Adam that was falen a sleepe.
