2. From Adam's side a crooked bride,
We find complete in form;
Ordained that they in bed might lay
And keep each other warm.

3. To court indeed they had no need,
She was his wife at first,
And she was made to be his aid,
Whose origin was dust.

4. This new made pair full happy were,
And happy might remained,
If his help meet had never eat
The fruit that was restrained.

5. Tho' Adam's wife destroyed his life
In manner that is awfull;
Yet marriage now we all allow
[To] Be both just and lawfull.

6. And now a days there is two ways,
Which of the two is write
To lie between sheets sweet and clean
Or sit up all the night.

7. But some suppose bundling in clothes
The good and wise doth vex;
Then let me know which way to go
To court the fairer sex.
