Text Details
When you compared a woman's love to Hell,
to barren land where water will not dwell,
and you compared it to a quenchless fire,
the more it burns the more is its desire
to burn up everything that burnt can be.
You say that just as worms destroy a tree
a wife destroys her husband and contrives,
as husbands know, the ruin of their lives.
