MS. Fairfax 4o. 273 
Vpon an ill Husband 
All Creaturs else on Earth that are 
Whether they Peace affect or Warre 
Males ther Females ne’re opress 
By the Lyon safe lyes the Lyoness 
The Beares ther Mates noe harme procure 
Wth Wolfe the shee Woolfe liues secure 
And of the Bull the Earth w*" teeres 
The tender Heyfer has noe feares 
But men then these more brutish are 
Who wt ther wiues Contend & jarre 
Of Enuy 
In Enuy’s Face discerne I this 
Of Monsters shee most Monstrous is 
A hurtfull glance her eye doth dart 
A painfull paine lies att her hart 
Noe Good doe’s Man enioy by Right 
Her enuious teeth doth nott bitte 
To Carracterize her yitt more fitt 
Of Erringe blindness shee the Pitt 
A Hell to Natures swetest Life 
Reuenges Spur the flame of Strife 
Her Actions yett bespeake her worse 
To Ciuill Peace a vexinge Curse 
Temptation’s Sargent that’s assign’d 
The Sentinell of Restless minde 
More hurtfull to the soule by farr 
Then Vipers to the body are 
But in a word t’express this Euell 
T’ls the Sin peculier to the Diuill 
Of Anger 
Noe Passion’s rooted deeper or extends 
Her branches furder or that more offends 
Then Coller doth of w* no sex or Age 
Can boast a full exemption from itts rage 
And when it’s boundless fury growes 
It’s high distemper Madnes showes
