Wife Of Bath Poem by Rod Cox

Wife Of Bath



WIFE OF BATH
What doth a woman most desire? What doth a woman wist?
Was what the wife of Bath asked Men; they hoped it was a kiss.
"Dominion, fools", the wife replied, full eight times married then,
"Though Wills give ownership to boys, I own the wills of Men."
