On the Wife.
THis perfect Creature, to the Easterne vseLiu'd, whilst a wife retir'd from common show:Not that her Louer fear'd, the least abuse,But with the wisest, knew it fitter so:Since, falne a widdow, and a zealous one,She would haue sacrifizde her selfe agen,But importun'd to life, is now alone,Lou'd, woo'd, admir'd, by all wise single men,Which, to th'adultrous rest, that dare beginThere vs'd temptations, were a mortall sinne.
