Vpon his Mistris Nuptiall, ENSTILED: His Frankes Farewell.

WHy whither Franke? to th'church? for what to pray? O no: to say, what thou canst nere vnsay: Alasse poore Girle: I see thy quondam friend, Hath cause to say his hopes are at an end: How vainely then be our affections plaste, On women-kinde, that are so seeming chaste, And priuately so forward-well-be gone, (If ere I marry) I'le finde such an one, As (in her modesty) will thinke 't disgrace "Others to loue when I am out of place. But I do thank thee Franke, th' hast taught me more, Then I could learne in twice seauen yeere before; For I did thinke your simple sexe did hate By double dealing to equiuocate: Where by experience now I finde it common, That fast and loose is vsuall with women. Yet in these rites this line my loue shall tell, Fare well or ill, I wish my Franke farewell.
