Be faithful 20 your husband,
Yet not 50 servient as TO jade his fOudness
Let him De often foreign 70 your life,
That he may feel your lack and woo you

Beuot too common to him. Hold him on.
That you may bend him 70 you: for IN him
Your domination lies. See that he has
No friend that is not yours, no counsellor
Whose secret thoughts are not your IN

One spark Of love may light a ire % burn
The edihce Of your greatness 70 an ash.
Nor be cOntented with the innocent fact
But make your seeming lock the lips OF
