In a new mould this woman I will cast,

Her tongue in other order I will keep,

Better she had been in her bed asleep,

Than in a Tavern, when those words she spake
A little pains with her I mean to take:
For she shall find me in another tune;
Between this February and next June;
In sober sadness I do speak it now,
And to you all I make a solemne vow,
The chiefest Art I have I will bestow
About a worke cald Taming of the Shrow.

It has been assumed in some quarters, that Marvell rather than Denham was the author of the whole work. But this is an error, attributable to the fact that Marvell parodied Denham's poem in a satire on the Dutch war, and other political incidents which he christened Last Directions to a Painter Except in their titles, Denham's and Marvell's poems are easily distinguishable.
