Analysis of To A. R. vpon the same
Henry King 1592 (Worminghall, Buckinghamshire) – 1669 (Chichester)
Not that I would instruct or tutor you
What is a Wifes behest, or Husbands due,
Give I this Widdow-Wife. Your early date
Of knowledge makes such Precepts slow and late.
This book is but your glass, where you shall see
What your self are, what other Wives should bee.
