Noah: Wife, come in! Why stand'st thou there?
It is time to go or drown, that I swear.
Noah's Wife: I see no need, though thou stay all day and stare.
Noah (aside): (Lord, that women be crabbed ay,
And never are meek, that I may say,
As is well seen by me today
In witness of you each one.)
Come in, wife, in twenty devils' way...
Noah's Wife: I will not come in today,
And I shall not drown.
Row forth, Noah, "save thy life"
But mind thee, find a new wife.
Sons of Noah: Mother, we pray you, all together,
Come into the ship for fear of the weather,
The flood is flowing in full fast,
For fear of drowning we are aghast.
