TWENTY-ONE
Sunday, 6 February
[Thy husband] craves no other tribute at thy hands
But love, fair looks, and true obedience—
Too little payment for so great a debt…
Even such a woman oweth to her husband;
And when she’s froward, peevish, sullen, sour,
And not obedient to his honest will,
What is she but a foul contending rebel,
And graceless traitor to her loving lord?
—William Shakespeare
