4. In Amorosum. Epi. 7.
A wife you wisht me (sir) rich, faire and youngwith French, Italian, and the Spanish tongue:
353
but yet in truth, Sir, I deserve none such.
for when I wed—as yet I meane to tarry—
A woman of one language i'le but marry,
and with that little portion of her store,
expect such plenty, I would wish no more.
