I am ashamed the women are so simple |
| [00:12.52] |
To offer war where they should kneel for peace, |
| [00:17.82] |
Or seek for rule, supremacy, and sway |
| [00:23.50] |
When they are bound to serve, love and obey. |
| [00:33.08] |
Why are our bodies soft and weak and smooth, |
| [00:42.57] |
Unapt to toil and trouble in the world, |
| [00:48.12] |
But that our soft conditions and our hearts |
| [00:54.14] |
Should well agree with our external parts? |
| [01:02.68] |
So, wife, hold your temper and meekly put |
| [01:10.51] |
Your hand 'neath the sole of your husband's foot, |
| [01:18.95] |
In token of which duty, if he please, |
| [01:28.35] |
My hand is ready, |
| [01:33.95] |
Ready, |
| [01:39.96] |
May it do him ease. |
