Ch. 4. Martin Parker’s ballad satire against women, Keep a good tongue in your head [London, 1634], was followed by one against brutal husbands, Hold your hands, honest men [London, 1634]. A. Kahin, ‘Jane Anger and John Lyly’, Modern Language Quarterly, 8 (1947), 31, suggests that Gosynhyll may have written this; Edward Gosynhyll, The prayse of all women [London, 1542]; C. Pyrrye, The praise and dispraise of women (London, 1569); The praise and dispraise of women . . ] The womens sharpe revenge (London, 1640).
First, there is no reason why ‘commonweal’ necessarily has to refer to a more egalitarian or republican form of government – it is used frequently throughout the sixteenth and seventeenth century simply to refer to the English polity, although it could take on a polemical edge in some debates and be used to emphasise mutual and universal interests above the crown and its sycophants. However, here it may have been taken to be referring to a more specific commonwealth. The Rump parliament passed an act declaring England a commonwealth in 1649 and cast itself a seal.
John Wallen is a joiner, who comes home drunk from a night on the town; his wife is angry, and in her own words ‘fell to railing most outrageously’. John bids her hold her tongue, adding, ‘And if thou dost not, I shall doe thee wrong’. She ‘grew in worser rage’, he boxes her ears, and she stabs him in the stomach with a chisel. She is at once repentant, – ‘He nere did wrong to any in his life’ – and self-accusatory – ‘But he too much was wronged by his wife’, and goes to the stake urging all wives to be warned against scolding: Let not your tongue oresway true reasons bounds, Which in your rage your utmost rancour sounds: A woman that is wise should seldome speake, Unlesse discreetly she her words repeat.
