A Merry Dialogue Declaringe the Properties of Shrowde Shrews and Honest Wives
Erasmus, Desiderius
Dialogues, Latin (Medieval and modern) -- Translations into English; Imaginary conversations
Wherfore nowe she speaketh. But yet she speaketh soo much & so
shrewdlye that I am more werier of her now, then I was when she was
dōme: Wherfore I praie you teache me a medycine to modyfye her
that she speake not so muche. This other answered and sayd thus. Sir
I am a deuyl of hel but I am one of thē that haue least power
there. Al be yet I haue power to make a womā to speake, but and
yf a woman begin ones to speake, I nor al the deuyls in hel that
haue the mooste power be not able to make a woman to be styll, nor
to cause her to leue speakyng.
The end of this pleasant dialogue declaryng the seueral properties
of ye two contrary disposers of the wyues aforesayde.
Imprinted at London in Paules
church yearde, at the sygne of
