"..You knowing women, who can understand,
First put them in the wrong, and out of hand.
No one can be so bold--I mean no man--
At lies and swearing as a woman can.
This is no news, as you'll have realized,
To knowing ones, but to the misadvised.
A knowing wife if she is worth her salt
Can always prove her husband is at fault."
(The Wife's of Bath's Tale, Geoffrey Chaucer)
