for that God has preferred in bounty
one of them over another, and for that
they have expended of their property.
Righteous women are therefore obedient,
guarding the secret for God’s guarding.
And those you fear may be rebellious
admonish; banish them to their couches,
and beat them.”

We give and then forget;

Will he be coming yet,—
Familiar as an old mistake,
And futile as regret.”
