The battle field

To marry too soon will land a woman

In a bad husband; her fate is sealed.

To marry too late will make a woman

Miss a good husband; her charms faded.

If her fortune got her a good husband,

There might be women to lure him away.

If her fate earned her a bad husband,

There would be fine men to lure her away.

A woman’s life is a battle field.
