Note 10 — THE WIFE OF BATH.
Reading edition
By pretending that she went out to watch her husbands she got the opportunity for indulging in freaks and jollity with her youthful friends.
Under that colour had I many a mirth. For all such wit is given us of birth; Deceipt, weeping, spinning, God hath give To women kindely while they may live. And thus of one thing I avaunte me, At th' end I had the bet in each degree, By sleight or force, or of some maner thing, As by continual murmur or chiding.
"Kindely" is by nature.
