CAUTIOUS ALICE by MATTHEW PRIOR

First Line: SO GOOD A WIFE DOTH LISSY MAKE
Last Line: SHE WITH HIS BRETHREN ONLY LIETH.
Subject(s): MARRIAGE; PRAISE; WEDDINGS; HUSBANDS; WIVES;
SO good a wife doth Lissy make,
That from all company she flieth;
Such virtuous courses doth she take,
That she all evil tongues defieth;
And, for her dearest spouse's sake,
She with his brethren only lieth.
