THE XII. WONDERS
OF THE WORLD



John Maynard

1611

 

X. The Wife

       The first of all our sexe came from the side of Man,
       I thither am return' d from whence our sexe began.
       I doe not visit oft, nor many when I doe,
       I tell my minde to few, and that in counsaile too,
       I seeme not sicke in health, nor sullen but in sorrow,
       I care for some what else then what to weare to morrow.
      

Sir John Davies
