In Ʋxorem, Epig. 44.
Caught with my Boyes, at me my wife the FroeScolds, and cryes out she hath an ars-hole too.How oft hath Juno thus reprov'd loose Jove?Yet he with Ganimede doth act his love.Hercules bent his Boy, layd-by his Bow,Though Megara had hanches too we know.Phaebus was tortured by the flying Wench,Yet the Oebalian Lad those flames did quench.Though much denyed Briseis from him layAchilles with Patroclus yet did play.
descriptionPage 104
Give not male names then to such things as thine,But think thou hast two Twats ô wife of mine.
