Then trust to this, I will a Matron like:
••et so to you my loue may neuer lessen,
〈◊〉〈◊〉 you for Church, house, bed, obserue this lesson.
〈◊〉〈◊〉 in the Church as solemne as a Saint,
••o deed, word, thought, your due deuotion taint.
••aile (if you will) your head, your soule reueale
••o him, that onely wounded soules can heale.
〈◊〉〈◊〉 in my house as busie as a Bee,
••auing a sting for euery one but mee,
••uzzing in euery corner, gathering hony.
••et nothing waste, that costs or yeeldeth mony.
••nd when thou seest my heart to mirth incline,
〈◊〉〈◊〉 tongue, wit, bloud, warme with good cheere and wine,
Then of sweet sports let no occasion scape,
But be as wanton, toying as an Ape.
