"The Bride" by Samuel RowlandsSamuel Rowlands was an English author of pamphlets in prose and verse which reflect the follies and humors of lower-middle-class life in his day. In this book, he takes on the trials and tribulations that ail brides. Written in verse, the poem takes a humorous approach to the joys of marriage and what was expected of a woman should she wish to find herself a good and honorable husband.
