A Roundelay

Man is for woman made,

And the woman made for man:

As the spur is for the jade,

As the scabbard for the blade,

As for liquor is the can,

So man's for woman made,

And the woman made for man.

As the scepter to be sway'd,

As tonight the serenade,

As for pudding in the pan,

As to cool us is the fan,

So man's for woman made,

And the woman made for man.

Be she widow, wife, or maid,

Be she wanton, be she staid,

Be she well or ill array'd,

So man's for woman made,

And the woman made for man.
