A Mistris.
HEr for a Mistris, would I faine enjoy,That hangs the lipp and pouts for every toy:Speakes like a wag, is bold, dares boldly standAnd bid love welcome with a wanton hand.Laughs lowd, and for one blow will give you threeAnd when shee's stabbd, will fall a kissing me.If shee be modest wise and chast of life,Hang her shee's good for nothing but a wife.
