As a bathtub lined with white porcelain,
When the hot water gives out or goes tepid,
So is the slow cooling of our chivalrous passion,
O my much praised but-not-altogether-satisfactory lady.

Were mine, the which the village thought I had
In bearing with my wife, while preaching on,
Doing the work God chose for me.
