Maids want nothing but husbands, and when they have them, they want everything.
Lord, I could not endure a husband with a beard on his face! I had rather lie in the woolen.
Let husbands know Their wives have sense like them. They see, and smell, And have their palates both for sweet and sour, As husbands have.
O, Men's vows are women's traitors! All good seeming, By thy revolt, O husband, shall be thought Put on for villainy, not born where't grows, But worn a bait for ladies.
Fools are as like husbands as pilchards are to herrings, the husband's the bigger.
The fittest time to corrupt a man's wife is when she's fallen out with her husband.
Get thee a good husband, and use him as he uses thee.
She is your treasure, she must have a husband; I must dance bare-foot on her wedding day, And, for your love to her, lead apes in hell.

Alas, the frailty is to blame, not we For such as we are made of, such we be
Enjoy'd no sooner but despised straight, Past reason hunted, and no sooner had Past reason hated
Thou shouldst not have been old till thou hadst been wise.
And thus I clothe my naked villainy With odd old ends stol'n out of holy writ; And seem a saint, when most I play the devil.
