For nothing lovelier can be found
In woman, than to study household good,
And good works in her husband to promote. ibid. IX:232
For what thou art is mine:
Our state cannot be sever’d; we are one,
One flesh; to lose thee were to lose myself. ibid. IX:957
And to thy husband’s will
Thine shall submit; he over thee shall rule. ibid. X:195
With thee goes
Thy husband, him to follow thou art bound;
Where he abides, think there thy native soil. ibid. XI:290
