Listen in the reader

FOR woman due allowance make! Form'd of a crooked rib was she,— By Heaven she could not straightened be. Attempt to bend her, and she'll break; If left alone, more crooked grows madam; What well could be worse, my good friend, Adam?— FOR woman due allowance make! 'Twere grievous, if thy rib should break!
