79 Of a Woman that would die for hir Husband.

A Certaine chast Matrone that loued hir hus∣bande wel, was grieued at the heart for the sickenesse of him, wéeping and mourning muche: and bicause hir heartie good will mighte appeare the more, shée besought deathe, if néedes he would haue hir Husbande, rather too take hir and to excuse him: whiles shée thus spake, shée es∣pied death with his lothsome lookes approching, wherewith shee being agaste, and already repen∣ting, said: I am not that body which thou séekest, he lieth in the bed whome thou cammest to slea.

MOR. No man loueth his friend so well, but he loueth him selfe better: Neare is my coate, but nearer is my skin.
