to the ladies - ned rorem lyrics

wife and servant are the same
but only differ in the name:
for when that fatal knot is ty’d
which nothing, nothing can divide:
when she the word obey has said
and man by law supreme has made
then all that’s kind is laid aside
and nothing left but state and pride:
fierce as an eastern prince he grows
and all his innate rigour shows :
then but to look, to laugh, or speak
will the nuptial contract break
like mutes, she signs alone must make
and never any freedom take:
but still be govеrn’d by a nod
and fear her husband as a god:
him still must servе, him still obey
and nothing act, and nothing say
but what her haughty lord thinks fit
who with the power, has all the wit
then shun, oh ! shun that wretched state
and all the fawning flatt’rers hate:
value yourselves, and men despise:
you must be proud, if you’ll be wise
