About this book
A Merry Dialogue Declaringe the Properties of Shrowde Shrews and Honest Wives is by Desiderius Erasmus. The title page says the dialogue was made by “ye famous clerke D. Erasmus” and was “Translated into Englyshe”. Two speakers, Eulalia and Xantippa, trade the lines “God spede, & a thousand mine old acqueintāce” and “As many agayn, my dere hert.”
A speaker named Eulalya says that Paule sayeth that wyues shoulde bee boner and buxome vnto their husbandes with all humylytye. Xantippa says, “let him do his duete I wil do myne.” Eulalia says, “yet recken what paines ye toke or ye colde teache your paret to speake.”
