My lord and master,

I will obey.

Whatever is his pleasure,

I will do today.

I have nothing left,

no point to anything.

It all ends in death,

but my Master life will bring.

I love my master,

my husband dear.

No matter what disaster,

him to me does not endear.

A black eye,

a mean word.

I must endure,

all for my lord.

Through thick and thin,

for better or worse.

I will always obey him,

that is my blessing and curse.
