TEXT_EXPL_XML <p>These, are the great'st Afflictions, most men have,<lb/>
                                Ev'n from their Nursing-cradle, to their Grave :<lb/>
                                Yet, both so needfull are, I cannot see,<lb/>
                                How either of them, may well spared bee.<lb/>
                                The Rod is that, which, most our Child-hood feares;<lb/>
                                And, seemes the great'st Affliction that it beares:<lb/>
                                That, which to Man-hood, is a plague, as common<lb/>
                                (And, more unsufferable) is a Woman.<lb/>
                                Yet, blush not Ladies ; neither frowne, I pray,<lb/>
                                That, thus of Women, I presume to say;<lb/>
                                Nor, number mee, as yet, among your foes ;<lb/>
                                For, I am more your friend, then you suppose:<lb/>
                                Nor smile ye Men, as if, from hence, ye had<lb/>
                                An Argument, that Woman kinde were bad.<lb/>
                                The Birch, is blamelesse (yea, by nature, sweet,<lb/>
                                And gentle) till, with stubborne Boyes, it meet:<lb/>
                                But, then, it smarts. So, Women, will be kinde,<lb/>
                                Vntill, with froward Husbands, they are joyn'd:<lb/>
                                And, then indeed (perhaps) like Birchen boughes,<lb/>
                                (VVhich, else, had beene a trimming, to their House)<lb/>
                                They, sometimes prove, sharpe whips, and Rods, to them,<lb/>
                                That Wisdome, and, Instruction doe contemne.<lb/>
                                A Woman, was not given for Correction ;<lb/>
                                But, rather for a furtherance to Perfection :<lb/>
                                A precious Balme of love, to cure Mans griefe;<lb/>
                                And, of his Pleasures, to become the chiefe.<lb/>
                                If, therefore, she occasion any smart,<lb/>
                                The blame, he merits, wholly, or in part:<lb/>
                                For, like sweet Honey, she, good Stomackes, pleases;<lb/>
                                But, paines the Body, subject to Diseases.
