What is this an example of?
“But in the end, for all we suffered through,
We finally reached accord between us two.
The bridle he put wholly in my hand
To have complete control of house and land,
And of his tongue and hands as well—and when
He did, I made him burn his book right then.
And when I had by all my mastery
Thus gained for myself all the sovereignty—
When he had said to me, ‘My own true wife,
Do as you please the balance of your life;
Keep your honor as well as my estate—’
From that day on we never had debate.
I was as true as any wife you’d find
From India to Denmark, and as kind,
So help me God, and he was so to me.
I pray that God who sits in majesty
Will bless his soul for all his mercy dear.
Now I will tell my tale if you will hear.”
