A Certain man of middle age being daintily brought vp, whose hair was half black halfe gray, maried two wiues at once in ye spring time whereof the one was yong, the other old, which both dwelled togither in one house: the elder bi∣cause she wold alure him only to loue hir, dayly kemmed his head, & plucked out the black hairs. The yonger likewise (bicause she would entise him to hir, from the olde womans companie)
plucked out his white haires. At length betwéen them, they had plucked off so much haire, that he became balde and a common mocking stocke.
MOR. Nothing is better for olde men, than to leaue the companie of women, especially those that be yong, excepte he wil be cloyed.
