<br>

KATAHARINE:<br>

SPOKEN<br>

I am ashamed the women a so simple<br>

To offer war where they should kneel for peace,<br>

Or seek to rule, supremacy, and sway<br>

When they are bound to serve, love and obey.<br>

Why are our bodies soft and weak and smooth,<br>

Unapt to toil and trouble in the world,<br>

But that our soft conditions and our hearts<br>

Should well agree with our external parts?<br>

So hold your temper, wife, and meekly put<br>

Your hand 'neath the sole of your husband's foot,<br>

In token of which duty, if he please,<br>

My hand is ready,<br>

Ready,<br>

May it do him ease.<br>
