Thomas Urquhart


Epigrams. The First Booke. ¹ 40. The duty of a husband to his wife


THough he be head, he must not tyrannize
Over his mate in sacred bonds of Mariage;
For in the head the wit, and judgement is:
And therefore he, with a judicious cariage,
Should towards her behave himselfe, respect her,
Instruct her, love her, and from harme protect her.
