Of Scolding Wives and the Third Day Ague

Among the greatest plagues, one is the third day ague;
But cross and scolding wives the greatest evil are;
With strong and pray'rful minds the first will cease to plague you,
But for the last I know not what advice to dare;
Except with patience all to suffer,
And ne'er the first assault to proffer.
