XLVIII. lines 8867-8938, Fr. 8773-8848 43

This notes how ill-bred men will cry
“Out” on their wives through jealousy,
Calling them names I scarce dare tell,
As minx, jade, harlot, Jezebel.

XLIX. lines 8939-9056, Fr. 8849-8967 45

The jealous husband scolds his wife,
Remonstrates, blames her course of life,
And setteth forth his dire distress
At that he calls her wantonness.

L. lines 9057-9404, Fr. 8968-9307 49

How chaste Lucrece, through wrath she bare
At heart, her noble bosom tare
With murderous knife, and death did win
In face of husband, sire, and kin.

LI. lines 9405-9818, Fr. 9308-9696 61

Beauty and Ugliness assail
Fair Chastity with such avail,
That they subject her to their dame,
Who loves to put chaste maids to shame.

LII. lines 9819-9960, Fr. 9697-9842 74

The jealous husband, all a-heat,
From scolding next proceeds to beat
His wretched wife, and robe and hair
Doth in his rage from off her tear.

LIII. lines 9961-10060, Fr. 9843-9948 79

How Jason erstwhile ploughed the sea
To seek the gold-fleece bravery,
And by the folk, where’er he went,
Was seen with fear and wonderment.
