Subject: RE: Origins: a woman is a gladsome thing From: Jim Dixon Date: 01 Jan 11 - 10:00 PM From Early English Lyrics: Amorous, Divine, Moral and Trivial by E. K. Chambers & Frank Sidgwick (London: A. H. Bullen, 1907), page 197: CXIII I am as lighte as any roe To preise womene where that I go. To onpreise womene it were a shame, For a woman was thy dame. Our blessed lady bereth the name Of all womene where that they go. A woman is a worthy thing; They do the washe and do the wringe; 'Lullay, lullay!' she dothe thee singe; And yet she hath but care and wo. A woman is a worthy wight; She serveth a man both daye and night; Thereto she putteth alle her might; And yet she hath but care and wo. |
