"If thou carriest thy wife with thee (and it is not well for those that administer governments to be long without their wives), teach and instruct her, and strive to smooth down her natural roughness; for all that may be gained by a wise governor may be lost and wasted by a boorish stupid wife.
Si trujeres a tu mujer contigo (porque no es bien que los que asisten a gobiernos de mucho tiempo estén sin las propias), enséñala, doctrínala y desbástala de su natural rudeza, porque todo lo que suele adquirir un gobernador discreto suele perder y derramar una mujer rústica y tonta.
